The Christmas celebrations continued as the GRACE family gathered at Auchinairn Community Centre. With around 35 guests in attendance, the afternoon had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home.
A Taste of Christmas
We kicked off the festivities with a delicious selection of party food. Everyone tucked into fresh sandwiches and wraps, followed by a generous serving of mince pies, sweets, and crisps. It was the perfect opportunity for everyone to sit back, enjoy the festive music, and have a good catch-up.
A Special Visit from the Nursery
We were treated to a lovely visit from the Auchinairn early years children, who stole our hearts with a few festive songs. Their performance was a real highlight, filling the room with music and bringing a huge smile to everyone’s face!
Afternoon Entertainment
The energy picked up as we got stuck into some traditional party games. There was plenty of laughter as we played:
-
Bingo: A firm favourite that had everyone listening intently.
-
Pass the Parcel: Which brought out a bit of friendly competition as the layers were unwrapped!
A Special Visit from Father Christmas
The room lit up when Santa made a surprise appearance! He took the time to visit with our guests and ensured that the holiday magic was shared by everyone. Before he headed back to the North Pole, he made sure that everyone received a festive selection box to take home.
Wrapping Up with the Raffle
To bring our lovely afternoon to a close, we held our Christmas Raffle. The excitement was high as the winning tickets were drawn. It was a wonderful way to end the day, with many of our guests heading off with an extra gift in hand and a smile on their faces.
