It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Frighteningly, as it's only September, we are getting in the festive spirit over here!

We are stacked to the ceiling with Christmas cards and calendars, ready for the rush. Orders are coming in thick and fast, so if you want to get your hands on our beautiful cards or very popular Calendar of Oldham then you'll want to get in quick! You can download order forms on our website - http://www.drkershawshospice.org.uk/ - or come in to the hospice.

Light up a Life is also back. A large tree here at the hospice will be decorated with lights. These lights can be individually dedicated to a loved one, either in memory of someone you have lost or in support of someone who will be in your thoughts this Christmas. The lights will be switched on following a Carol Service on Sunday 6th December 2009 at 7.30pm and will remain lit throughout Epiphany between the hours of 3pm and 11.30pm. This is a beautiful event, and if you would like to take part you can download a form on our website, or call us on 0161 624 9984.

I think it's a little early for me to get out the tinsel and my I <3 Christmas CD just yet, but everyone in the office should probably take note that that is what you'll be subjected to come December!
