Remembering Seniors During the Holiday Season

We all get busy during the holidays and often overtired as well. It is a wonderful time for so many of us, but unfortunately there are those who feel forgotten and depressed during this season.

People may get old, but are still able to contribute to the ocassion .  Although my mother passed away eight years ago, her fruit salad, gravy recipe and cranberry mold live on.  We all miss her but have so many fond memories .

So, if possible put mom or dad in charge of something during this coming holiday season and be sure to record the wonderful food and traditions  they introduced you to that you would like to carry forward for the next generation.

I use to go home to visit my mother and she would say “Let’s do a little dinner party while you are here” and we would work side by side and prepare.  She loved to entertain but it was too much to prepare by herself.   How important it is for our elderly to have  nice things to look forward to.

People may get old, but they still enjoy a good time…….
