Home For the Holidays: Bringing the Holidays to Your Home Away from Home

The safest thing to do this holiday season is to stay right where you are and avoid traveling. But don't let that kill your holiday spirit! Here are some tips to have a holly jolly Christmas this year.

Decorate Your Space

Small touches can make a world of a difference. A cozy Christmas blanket from Target, a handmade wreath from Etsy, or a Yankee Candle that smells like Santa's Cookies. Anything that brings YOU joy.

Listen to New Holiday Playlists

Besides Christmas Pop and Christmas Classics: Cozy Christmas Jazz, Electronic Christmas, Feliz Navidad, LoFi Holiday, and Holidays Around the World.

Make Microwave Christmas Fudge

Only 3 ingredients and 10 minutes to prepare! Check out Princess Pinky Girl's Christmas Fudge Recipe if you're craving something sweet. All you need are white chocolate chips, vanilla frosting, and food coloring.

Volunteer From Home

In bed or on the couch. Search for opportunities at AllForGood.org to participate in a Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon, make senior telephone friends, tutor students remotely, write holiday cards for essential workers, and much more.

FaceTime Your Family

No matter where they are in the world. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals, opening presents, and sharing joy. If you're expecting a lot of screen time with the fam, make sure to buy a rolling tablet stand to make things a little easier.
