The CDC has been great in keeping us current about the situation. They have also shared several recommendations for staying safe during the holiday season. These include:
- Limiting the number of people at a gathering
- Continue to wear masks
- Maintaining social distancing
- Staying up to date on infection numbers in your area
But even without the extra concerns about COVID, planning for the holidays can be both stressful and exciting. Here are some ideas for safe and happy holidays during the pandemic:
1. Wear Hats with Hair Attached for the Holidays During the Pandemic
In addition to being uniquely stylish hats, you can choose the hairstyle, color, texture and length of hair. Whether you’re choosing to do any of the below holiday activities, you can look great at home. But if you are using our holiday ideas, look effortlessly fabulous wearing a hat with hair attached. Best of all, you’ll only need to select an outfit and you’ll be ready for your safe holiday event!
2. Use Zoom for the Holidays During the Pandemic
Technology is wonderful and has so many valuable uses beyond mindless browsing. Not only is it an invaluable tool for work, but it’s an indispensable tool for keeping in contact with loved ones. With software programs such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, you can easily stay in touch with family and friends. Most people have large family gatherings during the holidays. And this year, you could create a menu, then have everyone cook their own small scale version. Make sure it’s complete with desserts and plenty of holiday cheer. Next, determine a time to meet up on Zoom. Then, enjoy a great home-cooked meal with all the perks of a family gathering minus the messy clean up.
3. Have a Drive-By Holiday Party
A drive-by party allows you to celebrate the holidays during the pandemic while keeping a safe distance. To make it special, send out invitations letting them know the specific date and time. Get your house ready for the drive-by. You can decorate your house outside with all the works. Festive lights, Santa, reindeers, and more. And go the extra mile by preparing Christmas goodie bags. For the kids bags you could include fun things and cookies, of course. The adult bags could be small bottles of alcohol, socks, etc. Also, if you own a business, you could add in some of your own products. The thing is, there’s no set way to have a drive-by party. The goal is to have fun!
4. Don’t Forget Your Face Mask for the Holidays During the Pandemic!
Whatever you decide to do this holiday season, don’t forget to wear a face mask in public and at gatherings! Wear your festive Christmas and holiday face masks. These comfy and soft face masks are made with lightweight and breathable fabric. Plus, they can be washed and reused.
