Residents took centre stage for the annual Christmas pageant last Monday.

The star of the show was a nine week old baby, though 14 residents took part to recreate the traditional nativity tableau.

They were joined by centre staff and musicians.

Activities worker Christine Curnow said the Christmas pageant is a much-loved fixture in the aged care facility’s calendar.

“The main idea behind the performance was not to do something too Santa-ish. I wanted something in the Christmas holiday spirit,” she said.

“The residents always look forward to seeing it.”
