Whether you’ll be celebrating with just your household or completely alone, see the holiday season recommendations to help keep your friends, family, and communities happy and healthy.

Here are some festive ways to celebrate and make memories together.

Recommendations for the Holiday Season

Togetherness

Here are some ideas to share with family and friends:

• Schedule a dinner party with friends or family
• Share recipes of everyone’s favorite dish from the meal for the ultimate menu for future holidays
• Say something you’re thankful for or reminisce about some of your favorite holiday traditions
• Play a game to keep the party going

 

Household Fun

Looking to new activities this year? Try some of these ideas to change things up:

• Let kids help in the kitchen
• Get out all your seasonal decorations and let the whole family help. You can even get creative by turning household items into decorations to avoid going out to buy more.
• Weather permitting, do something fun outside or active together: scavenger hunt, bike ride, lawn games. Maybe you can even make shoveling snow a “fun family activity”

 

Party of One

If you find yourself alone for the holiday season, it doesn’t mean you don’t have reasons to celebrate.

• Embrace your freedom to have a day to yourself and make it your own. Get back into a passion project, play your favorite video games, or schedule your own movie marathon.
• Don’t be afraid to cook yourself a delicious meal with all your traditional favorites. You can always freeze the leftovers!

 

Shopping

Thankfully, we live in a time when shopping from home has never been easier and there will be lots of chances to cross off that gift-giving list.

• Shop all the sales and price drops online
• Utilize in-store or curbside pick-up for items that are unable to ship

 

Gift Giving

Every holiday season might look different when it comes to the amount and the type of gifts being given.

• Don’t try to prove your love with gifts; stick within your budget no matter how tight it is
• Give a gift that will keep on giving: Healthy Air. The AprilAire Healthy Air System^® is a gift that can help you and your family stay healthy at home during this holiday season and into the new year.
