What is better than to see Christmas through the eyes of a child? The Turner’s charming Christmas village in Mutual 9, 207L, allowed me to tap into my inner child this year.

The Christmas trees in all their glitz, the Merry Christmas blimp, the moving train, the blinking lights and all the minature people enjoying the festive season gave everyone such joy. What a gift for all those who stopped by to see this magical display!

This was truly a Christmas present for one and all. I can’t wait to return to this Christmas village next year!

Thank you, Janie von Seggern Mutual 9 Editor:

This is to publicly thank Golden Rain Foundation management, Optum at the Health Care Center and Recreation Manager Kathy Thayer for restoring a large, decorated Christmas tree to the front of the Health Care Center by the Administration Building. There, it can be viewed by every resident or visitor to Leisure World who travels on St. Andrews Drive and Golden Rain Road.

Although Veterans Plaza may have more seating for a lighting ceremony, it does not have the volume of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, allowing more people to daily view and enjoy the fully decorated tree during the holidays.

Thank you to all who were involved in restoring the tree, and it is hoped that this tradition will be continued every year. I look forward to it.
