Christmas Party Tips
If you’ve got family abroad or aren’t able to see your loved ones this year due to what’s going on in the world, we’ve got up with some new ways to spend this Christmas!
Host a digital Christmas party - This may sound strange for a lot of people but with technology where it is we’re able to see our family and friends face to face without being in the same room. Use apps like Zoom, Skype and Facetime to set up a digital party! If you really want to push the boat then hook your laptop up to your TV and it will be like having your relatives with you!
Play your favourite Christmas board games online - Nothing will beat crowding round the Monopoly board to argue about what the rules are but the next best thing is playing online with your friends and family. All the classics like Monopoly, Uno! And Trivial Pursuit are all available on your phone to play online!
Of course, the traditional Christmas party is still an option this year but for many of us, the digital option may be the only way to get into the holiday spirit!
