story by Jordan Pupa
Exhausted from the holiday season and looking to stay low key this NYE? Here are a few ways to get you staying home!
• Countdown to the new year by popping a balloon every hour with fun activities or quotes inside!
• Create a photo booth backdrop with wrapping paper or streamers. Print free props online and use your smartphone for easy social media sharing!
• Get cozy outside by the fire pit and roast some s’mores and hot dogs!
• Create a “NYE Resolution Wall” with giant paper and sharpies for everyone to share their goals!
• Wait until the next day, then host a traditional New Year’s Day meal or brunch that will guarantee good luck throughout the year!
• Pick up a board game and interact without technology. You may even find traditional board game favorites at your local Habitat for Humanity or thrift shop!
• Make fancy “mocktails” for the kids with sparkling grape juice!
• Set up “Prosecco Pong” with plastic champagne glasses and ping pong balls!
• Create your own ball drop event with a bunch of balloons, some painters tape, and plastic table cloth. Release the balloons when the clock strikes midnight!
• Plan a fun meal with chocolate or cheese fondue or themed favorites like Good Luck Black-Eyed Salsa!
