And….we had a special visitor to the P1 party! ❤️🎅🏼❤️🎅🏼❤️🎅🏼 He left us lots of presents and told us to make sure we all get to bed early and leave out some milks and cookies for him, and some carrots for his reindeer! 🥛🍪🥕 #santavisit #nicelist

Our Calderwoodies received a very special treat. Mr Winters popped in to thank everyone for their kind messages in our memory book for Mrs Winters and delivered over 1000 candy canes because our Calderwoodies mentioned how she used to sneak them candy canes at Christmas! 🩷 #memories #spreadkindness
