Tips on Celebrating the Holidays This Year

The holidays are a great time of year to see family and celebrate another great year together. This year has undeniably brought unique challenges to being able to connect with our friends and families the way we're use to. But that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy a great holiday season and share great memories with the people you care about. Your Favorite Real Estate Team is bringing you a list of great ideas on how to enjoy the holidays from home this year so you can have a beautiful season no matter what. Keep reading to learn more from the best realtors at the Lake of the Ozarks! 



Connect on Video


Whether you're using Skype, Facebook video chat, Zoom, Portal, or another great app or service... There are more ways than ever to connect with family members using technology this year. Schedule a time to connect with one another on the holiday. Staying connected over video while you enjoy the same meal can make you feel even more like you're in the same room. Choose a recipe ahead of time and make it together over video, open presents on Zoom, chat back and forth all day with Marco Polo... The options are endless! 

Send Electronic Gift Cards


Shipping prices and times might be different this year from what you're used to. If you're worried about gifts reaching family members in time, an electronic gift card could be the perfect solution! Many box stores, and even local businesses, provide the option of emailing a gift card directly to the recipient so you can still give a safe, thoughtful gift this year. 



Make it Meaningful


With the year we've had, your normal traditions may not be possible in 2020. But you can still make the holidays a meaningful time for everyone! If your Christmas tradition is going to mass on Christmas Eve, get together on Zoom and share your reason for the season with one another instead. Make the same cookie recipe and decorate them while connecting via Skype. If completing a jigsaw puzzle before midnight is part of your tradition, get everyone the same puzzle this year and have a race to see who can complete it first! There are a lot of creative ways to keep your traditions alive this year even if everyone can't get together in one place.
