Juniper Village of Williamstown, NJ has kicked off the Holiday Season with a bang!!!! We began the month of December with our Associate Holiday Party on December 2nd. It was a great time for all with a beautifully decorated location, great catered food and music by Odyssey Entertainment. The entire team and their loved ones celebrated with great food, great company, great music, singing and dancing and a warm and touching speech from our Executive Director, Maria Ciocca! We had gift bags for everyone and even Santa was in the House!!!!! Let me tell you our team knows how to have a party! And they know how to dance. We even heard a special rendition of "Grenade" by our very own Joe Canizzio! It was great!
We followed this party with our Family Holiday Celebration for our residents and families...Of course we had a lot of work ahead of us in preparation for this celebration. We had decorations to purchase, we had food to prepare and we had lots of decorations to hang up! That's not all! We had to decorate our tree at our annual tree trimming party with our residents while sipping egg nog and listening to the great holiday classics! The residents loved this event and were very precise in how they decorated the tree!!! Even our family members kicked in along with our private duty aid, Manny to help solve a problem we encountered while stringing our lights on the tree. The tree looked beautiful and now I can't get the residents to leave that area as they love sitting amidst the beauty and holiday decorations! So we will be doing lots of holiday activities in front of our beautiful Christmas trees this month. Our families enjoyed a most joyous celebration this year with a beautiful dinner prepared by our Dining Services Director Ray Richardson and his team. They enjoyed sparkling wines, egg nog, and hot apple cider along with their meal. We had a Holiday gift shop on site providing gifts available to purchase and we were entertained by the wonderful David Dowell Orchestra in the Village and the wonderful Ron Bass in Wellspring. All families were treated to a visit by the Clause family! That would be (Santa) himself, Mrs. Clause and (doggie clause)! They were all dressed for the special occasion directly from their early trip from the North Pole! They even brought and distributed gifts to our residents and guests! It was a great, great time! As if this wasn't enough, we also treated our families to photos by the tree! We are in process now to distributing these great photos to our families and the wonderful memories to be treasured from this magical time with their loved ones, friends and all of us at Juniper Village!
We have many festive holiday concerts and events scheduled throughout the month of December and throughout New Year's Day! Be sure to come out and enjoy some of these events with us this season! We wish everyone a truly Happy Holiday Season!!!!
