The holidays are going to be very different this year as we are still in the midst of quarantining and social distancing due to the global pandemic. This means that many people may not be able to see their family members during the holidays and may even have to stay in their immediate home. Because the most beautiful thing about the holidays is being able to gather with family and friends, celebrating this year will be difficult for people around the world. But there is a silver lining to this unfortunate situation: we can use our creativity and focus on all the ways we can stay connected with our loved ones during the holidays. For the best ways to use your imagination this holiday season, check out these 8 fun quarantine Christmas ideas.
Visit Santa via video chat.
Social distancing could mean many children won’t be able to go see Santa in person this year. But don’t worry, companies like Santa Club are video chatting with Old Saint Nick this year. You can have multiple children online at once and also keep a recording of the joyful experience.
Take the decorations at full speed.
If you are going to be at home during the Christmas season, this year you could also dedicate a lot of time to decorating. Take all the extra time you’ll save by not traveling or entertaining multiple guests to turn your space into a true Christmas movie set.
Make a Christmas puzzle.
Puzzles are a great activity during Christmas. The more complex the puzzle, the better, so you can spend a considerable amount of time completing it. Since this requires some concentration, puzzles are great to complete with the whole family at home or if you are traveling alone on vacation.
Make Christmas masks.
Many think that mask making is a common Halloween activity; but as mentioned above, this Christmas is the season of maximum creativity and imagination. You can make masks for typical Christmas characters like Santa Claus, reindeer and Frosty the snowman, or create your own Christmas characters.
