How many of us on here are viewing Christmas with apprehension? We're lucky if we find ourselves included in a big jolly Christmas where our only responsibility is to help our Dementia sufferer to enjoy it. Some of us may find ourselves on our own, some alone with their "patient", some entirely alone.
Much as I've always enjoyed Christmas, and after years of 'doing' Christmas for family and lonely friends, ours has diminished, and I'm beginning to find some of those TV commercials of frenzied excitement lower my mood when I think of how many people on here aren't going to have that sort of Christmas.
So, Bah Humbug! Suggestions, please, for thoughts to make us feel more positive about other people's Merry Christmas, when frankly, I feel sad, and must snap out of it.
