Al and Christmas Carolers.
Almost Christmas--Al and I and one lady observer are just about to fold up our papier mache work for the afternoon when a family group come into the Activities Room to sing some Christmas Carols for the old residents and patients.
It was a thoughtful gesture and, as "anything different is good" as the guy in the Groundhog Day movie says, the entertainment is much appreciated.
Christmas Child Caroler.
The old people--for some of whom this will be their last Christmas in this used-up body--are especially interested in seeing the next very young generation--singing the same old songs in the same old ways.
Things certainly don't change very much.
The Old Story.
The same old story read the same old way by the oldest member of the family troup. But it still touches you bringing back memories of your own childhood.
Maria, Gina and Therapy Bear.
For the staff, and me, and all the old timers, this was a very good thing--one of those little things that make life worth living in this fast paced Southern California world.
Thanks and Merry Christmas 2010 from Tom and Tanya!
