December 12, 2010


Don’t you just love the Holidays? The residents at the Carolina Highlands are definitely enjoying the holidays this year. Every month we have an Ice Cream Social. This month we opted to have hot cocoa instead of ice cream. We had a wonderful afternoon of sitting by the fire, sipping cocoa, and chatting about everything.
We have had the pleasure of seeing many Christmas performances this December. Some of our residents went to see The Singing Christmas Tree at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church while others attended The Christmas of 1776 at Northwood Temple Church. The Carolina Highlands has had the pleasure of having several bands, choirs, and quartettes performing for us at our facility. One of our residents has even put together two performances for us this month, Four Hands, One Piano and The Legend of the Christmas Card.
On the 17th we plan to go around town and see all of the beautiful Christmas lights while singing our favorite Christmas tunes. We also plan on ending the month with a New Year’s Eve bash. The New Year’s Eve Bash will be held in our media room. We will have soda and popcorn while watching the ball drop. It is so much fun to be part of the Carolina Highlands family.

Christmas is definitely in the air! The wind is blowing, the leaves are stirring the lights are glistening and the choirs are signing! Oh what a beautiful month it will be! we waited for this all summer so here it is.
The Carolina Highlands is ready for Christmas. the residents are shopping and not missing a beat. We've taken a trip to the mall, and shopped till we dropped at Barnes and Nobles... sure hope I'm on someones list.... We are celebrating all month long. If you did not get to see a production in Fayetteville for Christmas be sure to come by the Carolina Highlands. There is plenty of festive entertainment here throughout the month of December. I would love to say we are going to loose some weight this month, but it looks to me as if well be stuffed until Christmas.
Baking cookies, exchanging holiday recipes and hot cocoa by the fire is definitely not on the menu for weight loss, but definitely for holiday cheer.
Last month the residents at the Carolina Highlands collected enough food to feed a family of 4 for a week. We exceeded our goal! Thank you to all of my wonderful residents.
Christmas is a wonderful time of year, to Reflect and Re-Joice in the wonderful gifts we have been given, to share and to express our joyful heart to friends and family. Come by the Highlands if you want to experience the joy and stories with a great group of friends. Our new residents blend right in and our old friends keep coming back for more. Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to everyone to and from the Carolina Highlands. Dont forget about our wonderful Christmas extraveganza! Celebrate with us at our anual christmas party.
