December 12 th the staff had their Christmas Party, and the Oldies and Goodies had so much fun being part of their staff party. A few of them were dressed up and of course our Buds loved every moment. Most of our Buds had smiles all afternoon enjoying the fun .
When Tom, and I walked in the Gathering Room we saw Mom sitting with Helen her friend on the couch. They were both holding each other hands, while Helen took a little snooze. When I went up to give Mom a kiss, she said daughter and asked how I was?
Several of us were talking about Ally's adorable tee shirt and what was written on it. Mom's friend Lois started reading what was on her tee shirt. Lois asked what does Swag mean? Ally, Bianca and I looked at each other and we got up and showed her. The next thing we knew Lois was swagging... if there is a verb to swag. Trust me you can't pull anything on our Miss Lois. She always wants to do what ever the rest of us are doing, She does not want to miss anything. I do have to tell you something really cute about our Miss Lois. Today, Tom went to put batteries on Mom's Christmas lights and he heard someone snoring ... and it was not Mom. It was Lois sleeping on Mom's bed. I wanted to take a photo of her, but I was afraid I would wake her up.

Then, Lois wanted to show me what she could do today. I love this cute Bud. She wanted to show me that she could do what the angel on the mantel could do. She was so proud of what she figured out. I told her she is so clever and so smart. I could not do what she could. She replied to me.. that she knew I couldn't that's why she was showing me.
Betty was checking out the Christmas tree to make sure all the ornaments are in there proper place.
For the staff party, all the employees were having an ugly sweater contest to see who had the best outfit. Everyone, including us had a chance to vote on the one we liked the best.
Wanda and Elica had the best sweaters. Wanda with the garland won the contest.
Next the entertainment came in to get all the Buds dancing. They all sat in a big semi-circle while this great man and lady played music and got them dancing. They had fun dancing, singing, and a little exercising. Some danced, some exercised, and some sang. They all had smiles and were enjoying every moment.
