On Christmas in a Kids Ward

By 24th December 2016 No Comments

So, despite our resignation and sad faces about being in hospital for Christmas, its not all bad. I appreciate the lengths the hospital has gone to make the ward feel Christmas-y. The halls are filled with decorations (there are two giant air filled polar bears with scarves down the way). We had carollers yesterday. And there were volunteers who gave out wrapped presents for the kids and chocolates for the parents. We also got a giant helium balloon. The kind that are terribly expensive at theme parks. 

No one chooses to be here, let alone over Christmas. But I appreciate the Christmas-y efforts.
