Boggabri residents in the John Prior Multi Purpose Service were faced with some very difficult decisions.
Astrid Chapman suggested the staff decorate doors throughout the facility and have the residents judge which was the best decorated door.
Competition was fierce as teams set to work decorating 20 doors in Christmas themes throughout the facility.
The 16 residents inspected the doors on Wednesday before returning to the activities room to cast their vote for their favourite door.
It was a very hard task as all doors were beautifully decorated, and it was a case of one winner.
Nervous staff joined the residents in the dining room at lunchtime for the announcement.
Astrid announced the winner saying that it was a very close result, however the paramedics had won first prize with their gingerbread house depiction.
