This week my friends and I spread some tailwagging holiday cheer at Eastern Maine Medical Center with the first hot cocoa with Santa paws event!

More than 600 staff stopped in for a few moments to relax, unwind, and make merry—a great remedy for anyone having a hectic day! I heard it is likely their most popular festive stress reliever ever and that it is sure to be an annual event from now on! 🐾 🎅🏼
