Ingeborg Bachmann Christmas

Rosemary B. 12/1

Paul Golden 12/29

Wishing you all a very Happy Birthday! We

hope that you will join us to celebrate on

your special day!

“Silent night, holy night, when the

bough flies from the tree and is hung

everywhere, when from tables the crusts fly,

when the gifts begin to tremble because

lovelessness walks through the world,

because it snarls at you, barks at you from

the snow, and the silver ribbons rip and the

tinsel rustles silvery, and the silver and gold,

and a golden word come to you on which

you choke because you have been sold and

betrayed,and because it does not suffice that

for you one is redeemed who once died.”

- On the Plazas of the City at Christmas

We can all agree that 2020 was the year we were not anticipating. While we

have encountered some challenges, unexpected turns and maybe even some

disappointments...We have also found time to be together in new ways. We

have gotten the opportunity to read resident written poetry, have art projects

brought right to the comfort of our apartment, celebrated with daily traveling

happy hour and we even received some beautiful renovations for our

community. As we look forward to 2021, we will all hold on to what we have

learned, how we have grown and well continue to find creative ways to be

together and stay engaged. We are grateful for everyone patience and

understanding as we navigate our new normal. 2020 has taught us so much

but most of all how to slow down. Happy Holidays and cheers to a new year!

It is the first month of Winter and the last month of the year. National

Cookie Day is December 4th. December often marks the beginning of rain,

snow and cold weather. In the United States the month is associated with

Christmas. December in the

Northern Hemisphere is similar to

June in the Southern Hemisphere.

The first day of Winter is on either

December 21st or 22nd. This is the

shortest day of the year and the

longest night. It is called the Winter

or Southern solstice in the Northern

Hemisphere.
