In this episode, I share tips on how caregivers can overcome those holiday blues when you’re alone and away from those you love. The show mentions how to make your days brighter when you start feeling a little dark.
Below are several links to those tips and solutions discussed in this episode. They’re fun and easy to do yourself or with your parents even if they have physical challenges:
Holiday Cookie Houses: Option #1, Option #2, Option #3/Mansion Style, and no-bake Option #4
How to create your own private YouTube channel
Create a Chinese Takeout Smorgasbord, with cake-top sparklers, no-mess tossing streamers, or LED balloons. (I recommend putting these balloons on sticks as they’re easier to have fun with vs. helium inflation).
Stocking Stuffer creation party: 64 stuffers you can easily make.
Invite children into your mom and dad’s home. Open fun gifts together or make gifts with them to share with friends and family members.
Make all sorts of decorated popcorn balls: Recipe for turning them into ornaments you can hang.
Holiday character appetizers: A skillet snowman, and fun Hanukkah dessert ideas.
Be creative. Get wild and crazy. Ask mom, dad, and all your friends who are caring for someone to join in with ideas and the celebration.
This way you’ll never be alone (until you want to be).
Cheers and happy holidays!
Lots of love, Nancy
