There the public hall was gaily decorated, pungent with the odor of cakes and candy, loud with a piano thumping out nursery rhymes and rock 'n' roll. Father Christmas himself arrived with a bag of toys. A year ago the regular Smiths staff might not have been able to get their patients into the hall at all.
