Like everything else this year, the holiday season will be affected by the pandemic. For you and your family, it may feel like one more disappointment at the en...d of a long, challenging year, but there are ways you can still make the most of the holiday season. Here are some ideas to consider when trying to make the most of the holidays for your children: 1. Create the magic. Traditional Santa visits may not be possible, but children could write letters or send videos to the North Pole. 2. See the lights. Wear your pajamas, make some hot chocolate and pile in the car. Drive to see the Christmas lights in your neighborhood or beyond. 3. Show people you care. Leave Christmas cookies or other treats on the porches of family, friends or neighbors. 4. Connect with technology. Share mealtime through a video call or make a recipe together. Assemble gingerbread houses and ask family members to judge them from afar. Some streaming services, such as Netflix and Disney Plus, allow family or friends to have a watch party while staying apart. Make some popcorn and watch a holiday movie together. 5. Send Christmas cards or care packages to loved ones. Include a handmade ornament or another token. 6. Write a holiday bucket list, with must-do activities, including baking cookies and singing carols.
