Christmas Party 2024 Group Home Hekisui
There was a wide range of entertainment, including a skit called "The Giant Turnip" performed by staff and residents, wonderful songs by a super folk singer from Chichibubetsu Town, and a magnificent performance by the hula dance group "Pirinaluahuula Lokelanichippubetsu (Representative: Tomura Chiyomi)" from Chichibubetsu Town.
Approximately 17 users participated and enjoyed a fun and enjoyable Christmas time.
Greetings from Chairman Masahito Fujii
“We don’t usually have many opportunities to meet, but the facility directors of Buildings A and B are here, so please feel free to let us know if you have any problems.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but lately I feel like a year goes by really quickly. From now on, there will be a series of events at the end of the year and into the New Year.
"Although the coronavirus and influenza are going around these days, I want everyone to enjoy the Christmas party to the fullest today. I want everyone to eat a lot and stay healthy. Thank you for your cooperation today," said Chairman Fujii.
Skit "The Giant Turnip"
One day, the old man planted turnip seeds in his field.
Grandpa said, "It will grow into a big, sweet, delicious turnip."
The turnip, which we cared for and nurtured daily, grew big and beautiful.
Grandpa: "Today is Christmas. Shall we make this turnip into pickles and eat it?"
The old man tries to pull out the turnip.
"Heave ho, heave ho," the turnip said, not even budgeing.
"Grandma," the grandfather called to the grandmother.
"Can you help me?"
"Hmph, hmph," I said, but the turnip wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called Santa Claus.
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called out, "Chiyoko-san."
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The old man called the reindeer.
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called out, "Mitsuo-san."
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called out, "Kiriko-san."
"Kiriko-san, do your best! Come on over!"
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called out, "Yohko-san."
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called Chairman Fujii.
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called out, "Mie-san."
``Hmph, hmph, hmph,'' but the turnip still wouldn't come out.
The grandfather called out, "Toshie-san."
"There! Pull it out, pull it out," and the big turnip was finally pulled out.
We made the large turnips into pickles and enjoyed eating them together.
