Activity afternoon at Drumdarroch
In December we held an Activity Afternoon for the children and grandchildren of our residents and staff.
We wrote letters to Santa, made reindeer food and Christmas crafts. The children sang Christmas songs and
we had a visit from Santa. He arrived in a tractor this year! Everybody had their photos taken with him and his elf.
It was a fantastic, fun, very noisy day!! I’ve even heard that Santa wrote back to the letters we sent him!

Oor Wullie at the Rep
Magdalen House festive show this year was Oor Wulllie at Dundee rep theatre on 14th December.
We found the show very entertaining from beginning to end, we loved the story starting on the train from London to Dundee were oor wulllies lost his bucket, so he is racing to find his bucket with old friends Soapy Wee Eck & Boab, while Basher is also on the hunt for the bucket, with PC Murdoch closely following behind. It brought back a lot of fond memories for everyone in Magdalen house, and they talked about the show for weeks after.
