Christmas is all about spreading joy with your friends and family.
This year the universal appeal festival is also widely affected by the Nobel pandemic.
But, no need to be disappointed! The festival is a symbol of family togetherness and expressing love and gratitude for each other.
The ones who are living away from the family right now, your beloved roommates are your family too. We are sure you are celebrating this Christmas with them.
The ones who are living alone, have a virtual get-together, or celebrate with your building members or friends keeping the social distance in mind along with taking the appropriate precautions. Don’t be disappointed! Your loved ones are sending their love and prayers for you.
The year 2021 has provided us with the opportunity of celebrating this season with our loved ones in the comfort of our homes.
Here are some suggestions to have a joy-filled Christmas in the year 2021 :
Christmas home decorations 2021
Even though you won’t have any visitors this year, Christmas shouldn’t be left unattended. This year try to decorate your home in a DIY style. Homemade decorations from the scratch would keep you engaged and motivated.
Along the process, you can also make Christmas theme masks for your entire family.
Light a Candle
Start your day by lighting a candle at the altar. Hold hands with each other and pray for the health and harmony of the family. The candle is a symbol of light, a light that brings hope and Christmas is all about new hope in life.
Dress up
Get a family theme and dress up accordingly. Since this year is being spent at home, you can have a Christmas pajamas theme. Sounds fun? Well, it could be more fun if the entire family wears the theme.

Send Greeting Cards and Letters to Friends
This year you cannot meet all your loved ones. So, you can send them greeting cards or letters along with gifts. There are many gift packs available online serving the purpose.
Buy Gifts for Family Members
You must have already sent gifts for the loved ones whom you couldn’t meet this year. Do the same for the ones living with you. To make it pocket friendly, you can play Secret Santa with the family, and each one will give and receive a gift.
Make a Christmas Playlist
Fill your home with the sound of Christmas by making a Christmas playlist. Spotify has lots if you wanna try it! Move around the house singing and dancing on the playlist. Arrange the songs in a manner that doesn’t bore anyone throughout the day. Shuffle wisely with both modern and traditional Christmas carols.
Have a Virtual Get-together
Missing your friends? Or your cousins? Or maybe some relative who used to visit home every year?
Don’t worry dears! Just get them on a video call or send a Zoom meeting link and have a virtual get-together. Have a few games ready for the celebration and ask everyone to get their holiday food and drinks on the table during the entire course of the meeting.
Sing with the Family
Christmas feels incomplete without Christmas carols. Even though the Christmas playlist is going on, it’s always, always, always better to sing! That’s what is the essence of Christmas.
Tell the Story of Christmas
If you have children at home, narrate the story of the birth of baby Jesus. You can also read it from their children’s books or even ask them to read for the family. Asking them to read will not only encourage them to read but also give them confidence in their family’s support.
So, get up and let the year 2021 not sadden you any further! Use the year to get closer to your family and loved ones enjoying the little things with big smiles.
