Every year at the Great Ormond Street Hospital Christmas parties they give out teddies at the Teddy Machine. But this year they had pooches!!!
Every child went home with a stuffed pooch – that’s nice!
There were all kinds of “animals” at the party but Mummy took this picture for me – a Dalmatian was there.
She couldn’t help herself but took a photo with the Super Heroes – she thought Spider Man had an amazing physique.
And she saw an imposter dressing up like Santa!
Look! And he’s running away! Get that guy!
But then Christmas came for Mummy – she met Shane from Westlife – yes, she likes them and she had to take a selfie – after all the kids had their turn and their Mummies. She slid in at the end as he was leaving – so she did not abandon her duties.
May’s comment: What an amazing opportunity to be able to help out at the annual Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital Christmas party. This is my second year – but it is still bittersweet looking at sick children having a good time. The organisers do an amazing job – all sorts of activities to take the children’s minds off their illnesses for albeit an hour and a half. They get to make cupcakes, create toys, paint their nails, dance, sing, have their photos taken, and they all get a “teddy Bear” from the Teddy Machine but this year they gave away doggies. While we all enjoy everything that’s Christmas – from lovely lights on trees, buying gifts for one another and singing well-loved songs – watching children enjoy Christmas is truly exemplary of how magical this time of year is.
