I am a survivor and am almost two years out from my fall on the ice here in New York state. This presentation offers a lot of coping mechanisms as well as providing a reminder to help in planning ahead for the chaos of the season - even those without a brain injury know the season is notorious for enticing people to overextend themselves in every way. I will be listening to this again so that I can try to make some decisions on my own limits and preplan some ways to handle interactions with people, This was a wonderful presentation. By the way, in regard to holiday traditions, I married into a family with the tradition of a Swedish meal on Christmas: Swedish meatballs, korv (a sausage with pork and beef), Swedish rye bread, brown beans, rioot beer, and dessert of rice pudding (with a whole almond in it for one person to "win") and a paper thin spice cookie called pepparkokkor -I don't think I spelled it right.
