While we all wish the pandemic was a thing of the past, it\u2019s not and the holidays are shaping up to be much different this year than in past years. As we all adapt to what 2020 is continuing to challenge us all with, here is a list of Quarantine Thanksgiving Ideas to make Thanksgiving as special as possible this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Host a virtual Thanksgiving over Zoom<\/strong>, Facetime, or any of the other video chatting platforms. While this isn\u2019t as fun as gathering in person, it can be a great way to include people who normally can\u2019t be together on this day!<\/li>
  2. Pick a festive cocktail<\/strong> or mocktail that everyone celebrating virtually with you can make and share together! Here is a link to 30 Thanksgiving Cocktail Recipes<\/a>.<\/li>
  3. If you aren\u2019t the one who usually cooks<\/strong> for this holiday, consider ordering a meal from a local restaurant.<\/li>
  4. Create a movie marathon! <\/strong>Netflix even has a feature to have a \u201cNetfix Party\u201d with those whom you are not with physically. Here are some great classics for the season: When Harry meet Sally, The Big Chill, You Got Mail, Trading Places, A Charlie Brown\u2019s Thanksgiving to name a few good ones!<\/li>
  5. Watch the Macy\u2019s Day Parade<\/strong>, which is still currently happening with limited crowds \u2013 Tune in to the time honor tradition on your sofa.<\/li>
  6. Watch the National Dog Show <\/strong>\u2013 Man\u2019s best friend is happening this year without on audience. NBC 12PM to 2PM directly after the Macy\u2019s Day Parade. Pick your favorite pooch!<\/li>
  7. Get outside!<\/strong> Weather permitting; take a hike, walk, or bike ride to enjoy the Autumn leaves, snow, or the sun. A little more fresh air is good for all of us during these times.<\/li>
  8. Celebrate al fresco<\/strong> – if possible or open all windows<\/li>
  9. Send treats, cards, or letters<\/strong> to loved ones who you cannot be with physically to share your gratitude for them.<\/li>
  10. If you are able to, check on the seniors <\/strong>and less fortunate in your community to see if you can help in any way. Running errands, grocery shopping, etc. could make someone\u2019s day incredibly brighter.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    However you are celebrating this year, we wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
