We're getting ready for the festive season across our houses this December, with decorations going up across our six properties.

At Holdenhurst in Heathfield, our tenants organise the decorations and it's a team effort from everyone to put them up. Brussel the Elf is back ready for mischief again - and he reported that quite a few mince pies and glasses of mulled wine *may* have been consumed during the decorating day! We couldn't comment on that...

Meanwhile the team at Lade House, Eastbourne turned to TikTok for inspiration for some new festive bakes. Here are their CocoPops Christmas Puddings and Oreo Robins. Don't they look cute?

Elsewhere some of the events have started too. Beachside in Worthing hosted their Christmas Party, with a live singer, dancing, fabulous food and fun company. A great time was had by all. And in Hove, Abbeyfield House was visited by carol singers for a wonderful evening of music.
