It’s been a weird year to get into the holiday spirit. With everything working against a carefree holiday season, I find myself leaning into making new traditions and celebrating the old, homebound ones I can.
After some self-quarantining and a negative COVID-19 test, I went home for some holiday celebrations and much-needed cheer with the family. We laid low, hung at home and stuck to the classics, including dressing the pets up and forcing photoshoots on them, making cookies, listening to Christmas music, decorating a gingerbread house (a tradition with my dad) and wrapping gifts.
We ventured out to drive around to look at holiday lights and decorations — a little more fun this year with the Christmasprism app. Families and groups can use the app as a scavenger hunt in their area, adding must-see spots to the app’s list of holiday homes or checking out the pre-approved homes in your area.
Happy holidays!
