Making The Holidays Fun for Seniors

There are certain Christmas activities that are universally enjoyable by people of all ages.  No matter where the gathering is held, seniors will enjoy decorating while listening to Christmas music.  Moreover, when grandchildren and other kids are involved, it makes seniors extra joyful.

Find ways to make the holidays less stressful.  For example, host the Christmas dinner at your place instead of the elder's.  Being the host alone, whether involved in any preparation or not, can be a stressful situation altogether.

Finally, try to encourage seniors to tell old stories, being nostalgic and bringing back happy memories is always fun for the seniors, and entertaining for the younger generation.
