It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 🎄

Our residents in Bolsover spent the morning putting up their Christmas decorations with their favourite festive songs playing in the background.

Everyone was singing and having fun 🥰

Lee placed the main attraction of course - Santa Claus himself! - and everyone as a group enjoyed adding baubles to the tree ✨
