Today was our kick-off to the 12 days of Christmas!! We have a special presentation each weekday leading up to Christmas day led by many staff members of our Beloved Saint John XXIII Home. It gives our entire staff, also known as elves this time of year, an opportunity to transform our Home into the North Pole while all staff get to reconnect with the Residents.
These Twelve Days of Christmas leading up to the Birthday of our Savior have always held a special place in our hearts. But this year, the meaning of joy and hope resound all the more especially during this terrible pandemic of COVID – 19. The staff of Saint John XXIII Home want to make this time of year extra special for all our residents.
We want to offer a special thank you to all those who have contributed their time, talent and energy in making this day possible. Julie McLaughlin, her mom Rebecca and Julie’s daughters Maxwell and Saylor for the homemade sugar cookies. Gina Kirk for the string cheese snowmen. Faith Clayton, the daughter of Mary Clayton for the homemade snowman ornaments for each Resident. Philadelphia candies for their donation of chocolate Christmas suckers. Thank you Kelly to you and your mom for making this possible. Sharpsville Florist who provided us with nostalgic Christmas ornaments for each of our Residents. And last but not least all our Saint John XXIII Home team members who pitched in to assist with wrapping presents, organizing events for each day and distributing “PRESENTS” for the 12 Days of Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us at Saint John XXIII Home!
