Park, it is such a special time and we all love decorating the home and having a lovely big tree.

"This is possibly the biggest we’ve ever had but then, it is Christmas so you have to go over the top.”

Nina, a resident at the home, added: “It feels properly Christmassy now all the lights are up.

"The home looks so beautiful – I can’t wait for my family to see the lights next time they visit.”
