Christmas 2020 ideas for celebrating Christmas during Pandemic 2020. It's hard being at home, so many look forward to going out, gathering with family and friends. Below are some ideas that will hopefully brighten up your season!

#1 Make a “Boredom Bucket”

A Boredom Bucket is a fun craft with the goal of keeping the boredom blues away. It’s part craft, part strategy, as the first step is to gather a bunch of popsicle sticks and write on them, paint, and decorate them. Each popsicle stick should have a different boredom buster written on it in Sharpie. Examples include “do a puzzle,” “break out the flash cards,” “1-hour computer time,” etc. That way, when it looks like kids are about to whip out the “I’m boooooored,” you simply direct them to the Boredom Bucket! more ideas @ parade.com

Set up a virtual holiday happy hour
You may not be sharing a meal together, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on socializing and relaxing with one another. Claudia Laroye, a mom of two from Vancouver, Canada, decided to host an aperitif hour remotely via Google Meet for Canadian Thanksgiving in October.

“We invited family members, grandparents, siblings and girlfriends to join us from across the country and even from the United States,” she says. “At the appointed hour, our 80+ year old parents and family members were right on time, drinks in hand and ready to celebrate our virtual togetherness with gratitude and good health. It was a memorable family gathering, making the best of keeping our celebration large in thanks and small in size."

You don’t want to go overboard on this one, or else your whole house will smell like popcorn.

You could even pair this activity with watching one of the Christmas movies recommended above.

 #8 Everybody loves a festive wreath, and this is a great DIY Christmas decoration activity. Take the kids outside for a quick winter walk to gather evergreen branches and pine cones, trim some from the bottom of your Christmas tree or just buy some at the store. Attach your greens to a foam or wire ring (a bent metal coat hanger works well) and allow the kids to decorate it with Christmas ornaments and bows. Or make this preschooler-friendly paper wreath featuring tracings of your child's cute little hands. familyeducation.cm
