The Joy of the Holidays and the Juggle That Comes with It
The holidays are a time for joy, connection, and celebration. But they also come with a whirlwind of tasks, such as gift shopping, grocery runs, decorating, mailing packages, and attending appointments, to name just a few.
For older adults, these errands can turn a magical season into an overwhelming one. That’s where Villi comes in.
At Villi, we’re all about helping people live life with more ease and joy. Our Companions step in to offer practical non-medical support, freeing up time and energy for the things that matter most, like making memories with loved ones.
The Hidden Weight of Holiday Errands
Holiday errands may seem small on their own, but they add up fast.
Everyday holiday errands that can be stressful:
- Grocery shopping for meals or holiday gatherings
- Running to the post office for cards or packages
- Picking up prescriptions or holiday supplies
- Helping shop for and wrap gifts
- Traveling to appointments during a busy season
- Decorating or setting up the home
- Navigating crowded stores
For many, these errands require not just time but energy and transportation. Even a simple grocery run can become complicated without support.
How Villi Can Help with Holiday Errands
Villi Companions are there to assist with day-to-day tasks in a way that’s helpful, warm, and respectful. During the holidays, that support can make all the difference. Here’s how we help:
Grocery & Gift Shopping Support
Whether you prefer to shop in person or use a list, Companions can assist with carrying bags, locating items in stores, or placing online orders.
Mailing & Errand Runs
Need to send holiday cards or return packages? Villi Companions can drop off mail or run quick errands so you don’t have to brave the post office lines.
Holiday Home Prep
From decorating to helping tidy up for guests, Companions can assist with light housekeeping, making your space feel festive and welcoming.
Appointments
Have a holiday haircut or doctor’s visit? A Companion can offer transportation.
Gift Wrapping & Prep
Some people love wrapping gifts, while others don’t. Either way, Companions can help make this task easier and more fun.
A Less-Stressed December
If your aging parent wants to shop for gifts, attend their community’s holiday concert, and send out cards, but can’t drive anymore, and you’d love to help, but you’re also managing your own holiday checklist, a Villi Companion can step in.
A Companion can take them shopping or even assist with holiday baking. That’s hours of your time given back, and more opportunities for meaningful moments together.
More Than an Extra Hand
Errands aren’t just about checking boxes; they’re about feeling connected and independent. Companions offer not only non-medical help, but also companionship and joy during a season that can sometimes feel lonely for older adults.
