Happy holidays despite dementia: White Christmas
Over my mom's years with dementia, I have learned to distill down to what is most important, adjusting for her capabilities where she is on the path of decline. I read an article one December, very likely from Go Ask Mom, with a great idea to calm the holiday frenzy. Ask family members, including yourself, what is most important for their enjoyment of the holidays. Make that the cornerstone for planning.
