Oh Christmas Tree
Christmas is always an exciting time at Hopewell. Every year we embrace the season with crafts, decorations and one of our all-time favorite activities, hand selecting our Christmas tree.
This year was no different. Ten residents with three Hopewell staffers spent half a day at Manner’s Pine Tree Lodge in Jefferson, Ohio selecting two beautiful pines. The residents had to cut down the tree, load them on a sled and haul them back to the barn to be bailed before being loaded in the Hopewell truck.
It was a lovely experience complete with hot cocoa and warming near the fire. We will be sure to share pictures of our finished tree once the spirituality group is done decorating.
