Celebrate Life

This Christmas it’s more important than ever to celebrate the positive, especially with our senior parents and loved ones. While we gather together with family over the holidays, safely, let’s focus on celebrating the life and experiences our elders have had and the joys of the many Christmases past. We’re all feeling more vulnerable and stressed these days, and this is especially true for seniors. So keep the conversations positive, joyful and non-pandemic related this holiday season. We can all use a smile and a laugh.

Appreciate Your Loved Ones

Let’s also make sure to appreciate all of our loved ones this Christmas. Not just our parents but also our family and friends that are helping us through these difficult times. And especially those who are caregivers to our loved ones. This can be a challenging role for many and it’s so important to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts and sacrifices they make to ensure our loved ones are cared for.

Gratitude

And finally, let’s all be grateful for another year passed. Grateful for our family. Grateful for our friends. Grateful for being able to gather together again. Although we are not out of the woods yet and the news changes daily, we can still find joy in life and in each other. 

What are you grateful for this holiday season?
