Plan a Noon Year's Eve Celebration
It doesn't have to be a big deal. Marbles often throws down a bunch of bubble wrap for kids to stomp on to simulate the sound of fireworks. It's fun to bounce a few balloons in the air or have some other noise makers on hand. You can get really fancy and toast with some sparkling apple cider.
Go for a Hike
Focus on Gratitude
Plan a Fancy Meal
Whether it's frozen appetizers that you warm up from the freezer or an elaborate meal that follows the traditions of your family, make a point to sit around the table together to enjoy some good food and conversation.
Plan a Movie Night
Make it a Game Night
If your family loves board games, set the evening aside for a round of your most favorite games. Add in some food and sparkling drinks to make it a celebration.
Go Virtual
Happy New Year!
