Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home held ‘Christmas Day Part 2’ so residents could enjoy a proper Christmas celebration together after a lockdown at the end of December meant the festivities had to be more low-key than usual.

Although he’s usually to be found sunning himself in the Caribbean at this time of year, Father Christmas made a special trip to the home to surprise residents and hand out presents.

The home was decorated for the festivities, including a Christmas tree and residents enjoyed a traditional Christmas lunch together which was followed by an afternoon of carol singing and games with family members including grandchildren.

Home manager, Nicola, said: “Everyone is really excited to be getting together for our ‘Christmas Part 2’ party and we reckon it’s better late than never!”
