Christmas Market Delights

The festive season began with our much-anticipated annual Christmas market. Held two weeks before Christmas, this beloved event transformed Seabrae Manor into a bustling marketplace filled with an array of wares for residents and families to explore. The market provided a wonderful opportunity for families to spend quality time together whilst discovering unique gifts and enjoying the festive ambience.

Blinging Our Wheels

In a delightful display of creativity, our residents participated in a festive wheelchair decorating activity called "Bling My Wheels". Armed with tinsel, baubles, and plenty of sparkle, residents transformed their mobility aids into dazzling works of art. The activity sparked laughter, conversation, and friendly competition as everyone showcased their decorating prowess.

Carols with Pine Rivers Municipal Brass Band

Music filled the air when the Pine Rivers Municipal Brass Band graced us with an enchanting evening of Christmas carols and entertainment. The band's fantastic performance created a warm, nostalgic atmosphere as classic carols transported everyone back to Christmases past whilst creating new memories in the present.

The dining room was beautifully decorated, creating a festive backdrop for treasured memories. Residents delighted in spending precious time with their loved ones, sharing stories and laughter over a delicious meal. The warmth and love that filled the room exemplified what Christmas is truly about—connection, gratitude, and celebrating the people who matter most.
