One of the things that Christmas does to me
2
00:00:07,388 --> 00:00:11,302
is I come from a polish Catholic background
3
00:00:11,302 --> 00:00:14,142
and we have a whole pile of rituals that happen
4
00:00:14,142 --> 00:00:16,591
starting with the first day of Advent
5
00:00:16,591 --> 00:00:21,100
as we mark things on calendars and do polish things.
6
00:00:22,034 --> 00:00:24,773
Which I don't do anymore, but I remember them.
7
00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:29,504
And this is what progresses through the month, I remember these things
8
00:00:29,504 --> 00:00:34,574
and it makes me happy to think that my
parents cared enough to give this to me.
9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,113
And when I came to Australia
10
00:00:37,113 --> 00:00:40,000
I really missed Christmas with my family because it was a very big event.
11
00:00:40,519 --> 00:00:44,116
And my wife and then eventually my daughters
12
00:00:44,116 --> 00:00:45,801
wound up celebrating Christmas with me.
13
00:00:46,653 --> 00:00:48,374
And so I'm looking forward to it!
14
00:00:49,069 --> 00:00:51,893
Well, I think we you see your children,
15
00:00:51,893 --> 00:00:53,600
and we see the grandchildren,
16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,628
we've got three girls,
17
00:00:55,628 --> 00:00:57,467
two on one side and one on the other.
18
00:00:57,798 --> 00:01:00,360
And, you know, we like to see them.
19
00:01:00,716 --> 00:01:02,972
We see them more often at Christmas obviously.
20
00:01:08,857 --> 00:01:12,985
I have not seen a community health place
21
00:01:12,985 --> 00:01:14,091
as good as this here.
22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,491
We we laugh, we have fun, we enjoy one another
23
00:01:20,491 --> 00:01:25,264
and the people, they actually they laugh and they get us going
24
00:01:25,264 --> 00:01:26,480
and they look after you.
25
00:01:26,968 --> 00:01:29,157
That's another big thing, that they,
26
00:01:29,157 --> 00:01:31,386
the whole lot of them,
27
00:01:31,386 --> 00:01:33,250
really look after you.
28
00:01:34,036 --> 00:01:37,474
Coming to this place is just wonderful, you know, it's uplifting.
29
00:01:38,621 --> 00:01:41,268
And we enjoy coming and I think
30
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:44,000
talking to the other people, they enjoy it as well, you know,
31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,614
it's just talking to other different people and
32
00:01:47,614 --> 00:01:49,312
yeah we enjoy it.
33
00:01:49,899 --> 00:01:51,360
Well I never would have met Kerren
34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000
and, you know, people that you like to have a good conversation.
35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,495
We've all got walks of life that we've come at
36
00:01:56,495 --> 00:01:59,282
different angles and that and it's so interesting.
37
00:01:59,538 --> 00:02:02,571
And then it just makes it when you come here with the staff
38
00:02:02,571 --> 00:02:04,836
they're just wonderful people,
39
00:02:04,836 --> 00:02:05,952
they're sincere.
40
00:02:06,514 --> 00:02:07,711
That's joy to me.
