Annual senior Christmas party brings together senior citizens

MERCER - As we get closer to the holidays, people might be planning to head home for Christmas to spend extra time with their family, but some senior citizens don't get that opportunity. So they rely on each other.

Senior citizens in Mercer are probably used to the sound bingo balls rattling around, but what made this Christmas Party at Mercer Senior Center special was the people there.

"It's just a good get together. You hear people went to the hospital, but you didn't go to see them and when they're well they come back and then you find out how they're doing," said Mercer resident Audrey Guild. "It's a good thing. It's a caring thing."
