The team from Amazon in Dunfermline has been preparing for the Christmas shopping season with a calendar full of festive celebrations.
A visit from Santa and his reindeer, hot chocolate giveaways and crafts with Mrs Claus are just some of the activities taking place at the Dunfermline fulfilment centre to support the work the Amazon team is doing to deliver for customers across the UK this Christmas.
Speaking on the festivities, Jamie Strain, General Manager at Amazon in Dunfermline, said: “Throughout December, our team picks, packs and ships parcels for customers nationwide.
“It’s an exciting time on site as we work together to ensure everything runs smoothly, safely and efficiently to deliver gifts and essentials during the festive period.
Christina Watson took part in the celebrations on site. She added: “The end of the year is always an exciting time at Amazon in Dunfermline.
“When we kickstart party season, you never know what festive surprises await – competitions, games, activities and more!”
FESTIVITIES are underway at an Edinburgh care home with residents treated to a bumper month of Christmas related activities.
Kickstarting with a light switch on and a visit from Santa and his reindeers, Cramond Residence is hosting a series of Christmas themed activities for the duration of December.
Activities include a Christmas party with a festive magician, bespoke seasonal menu, festive cooking masterclass and secret Santa which have been planned by the home’s dedicated lifestyle team.
John Hughes, resident at Cramond Residence, said: “The home has put in lots of effort to make us all feel festive this year.
“My favourite activity so far has been the Christmas market and the visit from the reindeers but I’m also very much looking forward to the Christmas cooking masterclass too.
“We weren’t really able to celebrate so much last year so it’s nice the staff have gone to all this effort to make this year extra special for us.”
All donations received during any of the Christmas activities will be donated to Alzheimer’s Scotland & Save the Children – the home’s chosen charities for the festive season.
Mike Hall, Lifestyle Co-ordinator at the 74-bedroom home said: “This year the team at Cramond Residence has been really keen to host lots of celebrations involving the community, as we are able to do so now.
“All of our staff and residents have been well and truly getting into the festive spirit and the atmosphere in the home has been very positive.
“The activities have gone down a treat with residents, many of whom have expressed their delight for the month long calendar of events.
“As Christmas is focused on kindness and giving, we also made the decision to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Scotland as it is a charity close to many at the home”.
Cramond Residence offers high quality care for up to 74 residents offering a small-group living concept in nine houses, with all residents enjoying an exceptional range of amenities and activities, delicious food and bespoke care from a highly-trained team.
