Virtual Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an essential time of year for many families and friends to gather and give thanks for all the good things in their lives. However, with all the illnesses we have going on today, many people celebrate Thanksgiving virtually to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. Hosting a virtual Thanksgiving may seem daunting, but you can make it a successful and enjoyable celebration with a few tips and tricks.

Firstly, plan and communicate with your guests. Ensure everyone knows how to join the virtual celebration and when it will start. You can even send out invitations with a link to the virtual meeting. Consider incorporating fun activities like virtual games or a cooking class to keep everyone engaged and entertained.

Secondly, make sure everyone has the necessary technology and equipment to participate. Test the video and audio quality beforehand and ensure everyone knows how to use your chosen virtual platform. Encourage guests to dress up and decorate their space to make it feel more festive and memorable.

Lastly, don’t forget the food! Consider coordinating a meal delivery service or have everyone cook their Thanksgiving meal and share recipes. You can even have a virtual toast to give thanks together.

Hosting a virtual Thanksgiving may be different, but it can still be a meaningful and enjoyable celebration with some planning and creativity. Happy Thanksgiving!
