Celebrating Christmas cheer at Langford View
Langford View is gearing up for a cheerful Christmas celebration like no other.
It’s going to be a day filled with joy and laughter, starting with residents opening gifts from loved ones.
The staff here absolutely love Christmas, going all out with their Christmas outfits, some adding hats and glasses. From the moment you step through the door, the home looks so christmassy and captures the magic of the Christmas season with several well decorated Christmas trees and a Christmas post box.
The menu for the day is just as impressive: a hearty breakfast, followed by a choice of Turkey or Nut Roast with all the traditional trimmings. Dan, our chef, is pulling out all the stops. And let’s not forget the Christmas pudding, Yule Log, and all the sweet treats like mince pies and Christmas cake.
Throughout the day, residents will have plenty to do, from making Christmas bonnets to enjoying games and classic Christmas films.
A lovely young family brought in gift bags with some spare for each of the residents. For many weeks, the people of Bicester have been donating gifts, chocolates etc to the residents for their Christmas stockings. “It’s great to see the Bicester community giving generously to our residents, we are ever so grateful” says Home Manager, Farida Ait-Tales.
Victoria Mccouaig, Langford View’s Activity Coordinator, is excited for her first Christmas here. “I’m really looking forward to spending it with the residents,” she says. “It doesn’t feel like work; it feels like celebrating Christmas at someone’s home. Everything we’ve planned is to make sure our residents have a great time.”
Hillary, one of Langford’s residents said. " I am looking forward to spending Christmas here, this will be my first Christmas with all my friends. I know the staff will make it lovely and am looking forward to our Christmas dinner and party together, Happy Christmas everyone.”
At Langford View, Christmas isn’t just a day; it’s about having fun, creating a sense of community, and ensuring that every resident feels the festive spirit. As the day unfolds with smiles and shared moments, it’s a reminder of the importance of togetherness and making new memories.
