This years holiday festivities are going to look a lot different, as they should. 2020, has been a somber year with a somber approach and many of us have been doing our part to stay home and protect ourselves, our loved ones and our community from this virus.

One thing that covid cannot take away is the beauty of one’s natural surroundings and the concrete jungles we currently inhabit…… and so, in this blog I want to invite you to embrace your city (or town/community) in a new and magical way and by the time we are finished you won’t even have noticed that we are living in the strangest of times.

Holiday outings can be a very fun thing the entire household can enjoy; introducing some traditions and incorporating the new in a fun way.

Make a fun holiday beverage like; cocoa, cider or tea and dress in your warmest coats and hats. Why you ask? To venture out to explore the pretty Christmas lights of course.

Want to hang with your friends who live in different households? How about a game of some Christmas City Bingo? Deets on how to play below.

Casually invite your friends and set a time where you can all start playing bingo (socially distanced of course).

Ideally, you would have two people per household playing and one person snaps the photo to a group chat of what the bingo card has on it, and whoever gets city Christmas City Bingo wins.

Christmas City Bingo could literally be;

• Find an inflatable snowman
• Take a photo from the highest point that overlooks your city
• Make a Snow Angel
• Find ten pinecones to make a winter themed shape
• Run up a hill (video record as proof)
• Doorbell ditch (oooofffttt….you did not get that idea from me *wink wink*)

You get the idea. Fill up the bingo board with whatever tickles your fancy (send the same board to your friends or use the one I have made below and take a screen shot)….make it as themed or as weird as you would like and throw in prizes if that is your thing.

Take a walk in a park while socially distanced with a few friends, bring a warm beverage and wear masks, exchange gifts in the great outdoors, window shop in the city lights, perhaps sit across from one another on a patio to have socially distanced cocktails…..but if you do these things please be responsible.

The point here is to get creative, while being responsible when interacting with people not living in you home.

We want to see everyone in 2021 and beyond; and we would like to see them all safe, happy and healthy.

Sending you warm wishes and a hug.
