Holiday Idea of the Day

Celebrate!
12/31/2011
The holidays take a lot out of you. Nap. Take a bath. Go shopping. Read. Pour a cup of tea (or a glass of wine!) and RELAX.

Remember resolutions
12/30/2011
Talk about past New Year’s resolutions. What worked? What didn’t? Get real about it.

Happy Hour
12/29/2011
Have a cocktail hour! Even if your parent or the person you care for doesn’t do alcohol, sit down with a festive drink to set the mood for a low key conversation.

Make a Mix
12/28/11
Done with holiday tunes? Burn a CD with new music you think your parent would like.

Get Techy
12/27/11
Even if you don’t have an iPhone, it’s really fun to use one. Teach the person you care for how to use one (or book an appointment at the Apple Store).

Be Indulgent
12/26/11
Pamper yourself. Book a holiday spa day for you and your mom.

Think Ahead
12/25/11
As a gift, commit to call the person you care for twice a week for the month of January.

Picture Past Holidays
12/24/11
Put together a group of old holiday pictures on your computer. Share the slide show with the person you care for.

Get Out the Apron
12/23/11
Think about foods that your parent used to make for you as a kid. Get out the recipe and make a date to bake!

New Old Letters
12/22/11
Collect old letters that your parent wrote. Get them scanned and make a book.
