Grandma got run over by a reindeer
coming home from our house Christmas Eve...
A gray-haired woman sways back and forth from her seat in the balcony as the Christmas entertainer sings. The living room is packed-out with walkers and canes, white hair and glasses, Christmas sweaters and broaches. There's eggnog with rum and hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps. A kind round of applause follows each Christmas carol as the retirement home residents give their ears a short rest before straining to hear the next song.
It's experiences such as these that make being a temp quite rewarding and inspire me to have a very Merry Christmas.
