Christmas is the time for being together with those you love. Sometimes family and friends live far away or there simply isn’t enough time to see them often, so Christmas is a time for finding those hours or days where we can come together to share the love and festive spirit.
I have a very poorly aunt who suffers with dementia and she is now in a full time nursing home. Each year we make sure we can get to her home, book in for dinner and bring along some of the family to spend some quality time with her to lift her spirits and remind her of the good old times, but also to hopefully create new memories.
I also have my Nan who I visit each year to give her some prezzies. She has lost her mobility and therefore she is in a home also so we will go, open gifts, laugh, take pictures and catchup.
As we get older we become busier with work, family and just life in general, so Christmas is the perfect time to free up the schedule and squeeze some dates in for quality time.
