Part VI: Try New Tree Trimmings.
The notion of decorating a Christmas tree (or even taking all our decorations out of storage) can be daunting to any of us, but especially for exhausted caregivers. If you and your loved one enjoy a tree but not the work associated with it, consider purchasing a smaller tree or decorating your traditional tree more simply this year, perhaps by creating paper chains or string popcorn. The simple hand-motions of creating these garlands can be good exercise for your loved one and help him/her feel very much a part of the holiday spirit, without being overtaking. The addition of a few well-loved ornaments may spark special memories.
