Santa Came to Town

The residents of Country Living at Westview Commons were delighted to host the annual gathering of kith and kin for photos with Santa Claus. This year, we joyously welcomed the husband of one of our staff members at Westview Commons (Amy Birdsall) as “Santa,” since the main man with the bag is quite busy this time of year. Clay Birdsall fulfilled the festivities with aplomb, and brought bright smiles to all the faces of those who posed with him.

Community members from far and wide came to have their moment with Santa Claus at Westview Commons. Residents, their families, and staff members all arrived for this yuletide tradition. Thank you to all who attended for making this such a memorable day!

The Christmas portraiture was accompanied with a cordial gathering among the attendees where cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate were served. In the background of the photo session, faculty, families and friends could be seen constructing gingerbread houses with great delight. Christmastime is about building new memories while also reflecting on the fondness of yore. We greatly appreciate all who helped us to continue this tradition. Country Living at Westview Commons wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas!!!
