December is full of holidays in our melting pot of cultures, religions, and traditions. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, approximately 30 different holidays are celebrated across the United States. For many, these holidays are a time to bring the family together, with relatives of all generations and extensions of marriage. For many families, this means a juggling act between kids and parents.

The holidays bring warmth, joy, and a sense of togetherness, yet they can also pose unique challenges, especially for families with aging members. As an occupational therapist specializing in geriatric care, I've witnessed firsthand the importance of creating inclusive and enjoyable holiday experiences for older adults, particularly those dealing with health issues or age-related limitations. In this episode, I share some tips for managing culture and traditions with aging relatives during the holiday season.
