Christmas 2020: Make The Most Of What You Have!
Never mind the Grinch — Christmas will still be the most magical time of the year with sunless, snowy, and fragrant surroundings. It may be hard not to feel sad about the hindrances you have been facing in the celebration of every event, but before you say ‘duh! Christmas is also ruined’. Try finding ways to enjoy this event. You’ll find so many things to get the Christmassy vibe, it is a fact that Christmas won’t be the same, but you can still wear Christmas Jackets and have fun with your friends and family. Well, here are some ways — and a few ideas to make your December Christmassy!
SEND COOKIES TO YOUR LOVED ONES — BY MAIL!
No matter how tough life is going to get, you can’t leave the ones you love. It is not like that this year you can’t meet them so you can’t even spread cheer in their lives. You can send them your homemade holiday cookies — through the mail. Everyone likes surprise mails, especially if they consist of homemade treats.
MAKE A SANTA VISIT — AT HOME!
This Christmas is different, so going to malls for meeting Santa and sitting on his lap might be a little uncomfortable, though your kids can still spend quality time with the big jolly guy. Dress up as Santa Claus in Christmas Jackets and spread joy in your kid’s life! You can also arrange a little meetup for Santa for neighborhood kids by following all the standard operating procedures and safety precautions. Spread the joy, and your Christmas would be magical.
WATCH MOVIES — CHRISTMAS CLASSICS!
What is better than hosting a Christmas movie marathon? Nothing! So this Christmas, be the holiday rockstar by arranging a movie marathon for your family and friends. You can always watch classics like Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, and it’s a Wonderful Life, or you can go for the new sensational holiday movies like Holidate, Jingle jangle, A Christmas Journey, or Let It, Snow. No matter which movie you are going to pick, the fun is going to remain the same. Thereby, your Christmas will be saved!
USE MAIL — TO PLAY SECRET SANTA!
Only because you can’t gather at one place, it doesn’t mean that you can’t play Secret Santa. You can still have all the fun of playing Secret Santa. Have everyone pick their names, as usual, and then send all the gifts through the mail without mentioning the sender’s name. Now it will be fun to guess who picked whom, and everyone will enjoy the guessing game!
OPEN GIFTS TOGETHER — THROUGH VIDEO CHATS!
You can get together with all of your friends and, in some cases, with family members to open Christmas gifts — virtually. Technology has made it easier to connect to everyone through the internet, so spend the holiday being face-to-face connected to your loved ones and do little activities together, like opening presents.
HAVE THE BREAKFAST — CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
Since you don’t have any other activity for this Christmas morning like getting up and hitting the road, so why not take it as a chance for planning a Christmas breakfast? You’ll find so many recipes from the internet to turn your breakfast Christmassy! Just do not forget to add marshmallows; they have the real winter and Christmas vibe!
HAVE THE UGLY SWEATER PARTY — VIRTUAL ONE!
Don’t waste all of your ugly sweaters! You can still have your ugly sweater party if you think in the right way. Grab your sweaters and slay in the ugliest way through virtual meetings. You can hold this party with your office colleagues to spark the Christmas spirit in their lives and in your life too. Let everyone show their questionable sweaters and hoodies through their webcams.
SPREAD LOVE AND JOY — NOT VIRTUALLY!
2020 was the year with so many lessons, and one of them is that a person should never refrain from spreading happiness. You will get so many chances this Christmas to be the reason for someone’s smile. This is the best feeling in this world, so find out the ways to work for humanity. Distribute cookies in your neighborhood, buy food for the homeless ones, work with the charity shelter, send flowers to the patients in your nearest hospital, and so many more things which you can do to be the reason for happiness in someone’s life.
So grab your Christmas Jacket Outfits and start working on the aforementioned ideas and plans. Also, remember to tell your loved ones how you feel. Life is too short to keep any grudge, so instead of holding them, let it go, and be friends with each other again! Count your blessings; this year has been so difficult for so many people for so many reasons, but if you still have your family safe and plates full of food, then, my friend, you have so much to be grateful for.
