It definitely wasn't a Silent Night yesterday evening at Walnut Tree House. The evening was jingling with the sound of six GoodGymers, residents of Walnut Tree and accompanying piano and percussion. We Rocked around the Christmas tree, Walked in a Winter Wonderland and Dreamed of a White Christmas. One lucky resident even had her own personal performance as we sang an a cappella Away in a Manger on her balcony. Of course we had to provide a rendition of the special 12 Days of GoodGym Christmas (written by Ella - see pic). Thanks to Louise for inspiring the dancing and wearing the best Christmas jumper! We all had smiles on our faces as We Wished a Merry Christmas and a Feliz Navidad for all the Spanish speakers. Phil had a nice chat with the residents and apologised for the lack of Bing Crosby...!
Always a lovely event to bring some Christmas cheer. Thanks to Susan for arranging and for the lovely hot chocolate!
A special shout out and thanks to our brilliant musical Emily for her piano playing, music bringing and for keeping us all in tune!
We have had a great year at Colchester Goodgym. 362 good deeds (I think now 363 as of last night!), 4,295 km run, 4 GoodGymers reaching 50 good deeds and 2 reaching 100. A special well done to our top good deeders Tav and Frazer!! Great GoodGyming.
Merry Christmas everyone and see you all in the New Year!
