Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25, as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. It is also called Noel, X-mas and Nativity. Roman Catholic churches have increasingly held Christmas candlelight services late in the evening on December 24.
A Christmas carol is a carol on the theme of Christmas and is traditionally sung at Christmas time itself or during the surrounding Christmas holiday season. The term Noel has sometimes been used, especially for carols of French origin. Some of the most famous carols are Silent Night, Little Drummer Boy, O Come All Ye Faithful and the 12 Days of Christmas.
We have started collecting gifts for our residents to distribute at their Christmas party. If you are interested in adopting a resident for gift giving, please call and ask for the activity department.
