New Year’s Eve is going to look a little different this year, but there are plenty of ways to celebrate at home in style! We’ve got some ideas on how to make this NYE extra special.
1. Order in from a local restaurant.
Support your local businesses and treat yourself to a nice dinner by ordering takeout for the family. Nearby restaurants still need our patronage now more than ever, and many offer special menus and entrees for the holiday.
2. Plan a family game night.
Charades, Trouble, Scrabble…the options are endless! Take turns playing games suggested by each family member; it’s a great way to keep yourselves busy until the countdown to midnight begins, and bond as a family.
3. Pop some bubbly!
Cheers to the New Year…with champagne for the adults, and a bottle of sparkling cider for the kids. Whether your tastes learn more towards Dom Perignon or Welch’s (hey, we don’t judge!), clinking your glasses of bubbly at midnight is a fun way to ring in 2021.
4. Get all dolled up.
Look good, feel good! Why not dress to the nines, even just to party in your living room? Don your favorite sparkly dress, swipe on some mascara, and head into 2021 looking and feeling your best. By the way…throwing on your one pair of leggings that aren’t stained still counts as dressing up!
5. Start a new tradition.
It could be something you decide to do throughout the year, to challenge yourself and widen your horizons. Here’s a fun idea: start a “Music Jar.” Take an empty mason jar and fill it with folded up sheets of paper with names of musicians written inside. Each week, pull out a new name and listen to some new artists you might not have considered before! And the next year? Try filling your jar with new cuisines types, or book genres.
