Basking in the Warmth of Holidays Past and Present
Manage episode 384731899 series 3394077
Has the glitz of the holidays lost its sparkle over the years? Join me, Marcy Backhus as we journey down the memory lane of holiday traditions, reflecting on how they have transformed in the face of our ever-changing society. From the mesmerizing light parade on Michigan Avenue to the giddy anticipation of unwrapping presents on Christmas Eve, we'll bask in the warmth of treasured memories and merriment.
As we move from the past to the present, we'll explore the dramatic shift in the landscape of holiday shopping. Gone are the days when department stores were the heart of our festive celebrations. We'll reminisce about the personal touch they offered, their vibrant decorations, and the hype of special events that made shopping an experience, not just a chore. Plus, you'll hear about my new water aerobics family in Chicago and how they've brightened up my life.
But our conversation isn't merely confined to the holidays. We'll also turn our attention towards a critical issue concerning seniors - hearing loss. Touching upon the lack of Medicare coverage for hearing aids and the potential link to dementia, we'll stress the importance of staying informed and seeking professional help. As we prepare to dive into the Thanksgiving week, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and engaging with your questions. So, tune in and share this warm, nostalgic journey with me.
