Holiday Open House with Cookie Exchange and Special Visit from Santa!


The residents, staff, families and visitors of Juniper Village at Lebanon were treated to a special visit from Santa at our annual Holiday Open House.  Santa brought gifts for all of the residents and for the children in attendance, and everyone, regardless of size or age, got to sit on Santa's lap.  After getting their picture taken with Santa, each person moved on to the Cookie Exchange table to get some goodies and fill up a take-out bag with cookies!  Special music was provided by Allen Kohl on the accordion in The Village, and by Gary Cohen on the piano in The Club.  It was a very relaxing evening where everyone was able to linger over cookies and drinks and catch up with relatives they haven't seen in a while.  A special surprise came from our director, Joan-Marie Norman, whose husband Chuck brought in a beautiful mailbox for letters to Santa, which was made by his students at the Reading Vo-Tech School.  Santa was very impressed, and it was only minutes before someone was already putting a letter into the new mailbox, which is located in the Village lobby.  Many thanks to everyone who made cookies and helped in any way to make this a wonderful evening for all!
