Dementia News: 24 Dec to 04 Jan

CHRISTMAS EDITION
Please Note: For the Christmas edition (from 23 Dec 08 to 04 Jan 09) there will be only one post (usually I create a new post each day), I will only show headlines (no blogging), and updates may be more irregular than usual as I am travelling and will not always have internet access. Last but not least I won't be sending out the daily email of headlines to the 'Touched By Dementia' group during this period either as I am unable to know ahead of time what my internet access will be like, and it won't hurt me to give myself a little bit of a break....

But now, to get you into the spirit...



Merry Christmas Everyone!
(And for those that don't celebrate Christmas, enjoy the holidays, if you get them, nonetheless, and every respect to your beliefs too!)
