I was reading through some posts and when I read a post concerning how much more stressful the holidays can be for caregiver's, I thought maybe we could do a secret Santa. (If not allowed on site, please let me know Admin) If you want to participate then you purchase a gift of no more then $10 and once I have names of who all wants to participate I can email your secret Santa recipient's name and mailing address! Each person participating must mail one gift to someone else, and you will also receive one.This could be a fun and welcome way to distract ourselves from our daily routine from caregiving! Gifts aimed at someone taking extra time for thier self is good idea. For instance, bubble bath, slippers, books, etc. If you want to participate, you do need to feel comfortable sharing your email and mailing address. Please let me know if you want to help me cheer up other caregivers for the holidays!!🙆💞💟🎄🎁🎁🎁 If at least five others want to join then I will do the work of sending names and addresses to everyone!
I would participate if I wasn't in my "hermit mode". After 7 years of helping my very elderly parents who have since passed, I just want to hide. I haven't recovered. Go shopping? Well, maybe if Hugh Grant was selling an autobiography I would head out the door to Barnes & Noble :)
Hope you have obtained a few names and it works out beautifully !!
What a generous and thoughtful idea.
What is often done is a pretend party, a pretend trip, so I am going to participate in a "fantasy" sort of gifting.
Can we exchange caregiving duties with other caregivers for one week?
Or, call it what you might....exchange our person-your Mom exchanged for my hubs. lol.
My gift to Igloo....a case of Procecco.
A huge crowd of carolers come to your door, you answer it, they sing, and you are cheered up.
I wish you all a peaceful, joyful, Merry Christmas ⛄🎄⛄🎄
