Here come the Holidays! There’s no doubt that the Holidays will be different this year than what we’ve experienced in the past. The risk of being exposed to COVID-19, however, doesn’t mean that we can’t have a fun and festive Holiday Season. The current pandemic give us an opportunity to make new traditions and to connect (virtually of course) with more friends and family than we have on previous Holidays. Below are some low risk activities that you can try this Holiday Season. Enjoy your Holidays and as always, stay safe and healthy!

• Host a virtual Holiday gathering and share yourfavorite recipes
• Watch sports or movies together over video chat
• Play virtual board games
• Do a contactless Holiday goodie exchange
