Celebrate the Winter Holidays Safely and Have a Happy New Year

There is a lot to celebrate with the ending of 2020 and beginning of 2021, but Covid-19 cases still on the rise around the country, the safest way to celebrate winter holidays and New Year’s Eve is still at home. But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring or even with just household members. Here are some ideas to help you celebrate safely.

·         Do a photo backdrop challenge for you and/or your kids with other families. Best photo background wins!

·         Make lists of predictions for 2021; they can be silly or not. At this point nothing is off the table!

·         Play fun games like Musical Chairs, Apples to Apples, Charades and others. Some of these games can easily played with other groups over zoom!

·         Give your holiday a fun theme. Make it an 80s Christmas or Grinch New Year’s Eve (seems very appropriate). Even if your celebrations are smaller this year, fun themes like this will make them memorable and fun.

·         Build fun breaks into your celebrations. Random dance breaks. Everyone has to freeze throughout the day when 1 family member yells freeze. You have to say something your thankful for anytime someone asks you all throughout the day. Make it fun or meaningful!
