Smashing Traditions: A Fun Twist on Family Christmas Gatherings

The holiday season can be a challenging time for individuals with neurodegenerative and neurological conditions, often exacerbating stress and impacting mental health.

To lighten the mood, consider these two engaging tips:

1) Silent Night, Literally: Host a "Silent Night" party where everyone communicates using charades. Not only is it entertaining, but it also provides a quiet environment, reducing sensory overload.

2) Fruitcake Therapy: Bring a fruitcake to holiday gatherings—use it as a doorstop, paperweight, or stress reliever. Smashing a fruitcake can be oddly cathartic!

Remember, levity and creativity can be great companions during the festive season.
