The task at Seniors at this time of year is a simple one: put up the Christmas decorations. This years task had an added step: check the trees and decorations weren't broken or not working.

First up we built the 5 Christmas trees to check all had their parts and all looked good and not too shabby. One didn't make the cut but on the positive side these trees have served Senior's well and are probably around 15 years old!

It was time to decorate, we had a couple of trees that had a strict colour scheme with matching lights around the room and then 2 trees that just had a mixture of tinsel, decorations, lights - these turned out to be my favourite and even got picked for the centre of the group photo!

There was also a group hanging lights (being careful not to fall from the step ladder) and hanging decorations.

The space was looking Christmassy when it was time for us to head back to Glass Mill. We ended up with a small but dedicated to the hills group making it all the way back - great work tonight everyone.

We have a couple of community missions this weekend: - filling the skip at Brownhill Road Baptist Church - helping in the garden at Marsha Phoenix - helping at FUSS Christmas Fair
