The Christmas Tree


Title	The Christmas Tree
Description	One of the features of life in the Nurses' Quarters/SAB was the Christmas Tree on which residents pinned notes which expressed their thoughts at Christmas. Mrs Diann Brooks (Hendy) revived this tradition especially for the Wake. Here Mary McCabe is preparing to pin her note to the tree. Diann collected all of the thoughts at the end of the day and is compiling them into a booklet.
