Thanksgiving this year might look different again for some of us since numbers are on the rise again. However, if you’ll be sitting out this year or avoiding a big family gathering and you are feeling a little bummed about Thanksgiving this year, don’t sweat it! We want to assure you there is still a lot to be thankful for and tons of ways to celebrate…and yes, that does include your family and friends…it just might be virtually. So if you’re stumped on how to celebrate the holiday without friends and family, take a peek below and see how you can still participate in the holiday festivities while taking precautions. 

If you will be hitting the road to go to your family’s house this Thanksgiving, it might be a good idea to service your Nissan before hitting the road. Nothing will put a damper on the holiday like a breakdown! Schedule your service appointment online now!

Alternative Ways To Celebrate This Thanksgiving:

Host A Virtual Thanksgiving Meal With Friends & Family

• Livestream your festivities with friends and family. This is a good way to see and talk with your loved ones without the risk of exposure. 
• You can start with appetizers – have each party explain what appetizer they “brought” and rate who’s was the best
• Once dinner is served, set the camera up to the table and feast with your family and friends. Feel free to share recipes or even watch the big game together. 

TV & Games With Household Members

• It’s no secret there’s a lot to watch on TV during Thanksgiving. If you’re staying home this year, watching TV together or playing games as a family can be a great way to connect.
• Watch Thanksgiving Day parades, sports, and Christmas movies at home.
• Find a fun game to play – pull out all your favorite board games and have a family board game night!

Black Friday Online Shopping

• Shop online sales the day of Thanksgiving and the days leading up to the winter holidays.
• Use contactless services for purchased items, like a curbside pick-up.
• Shop in open air markets staying 6 feet away from others and wear a mask

Other Ideas

• Safely prepare traditional dishes and deliver them to family and neighbors in a way that does not involve contact with others (for example, leave them on the porch).
• Participate in a gratitude activity, like writing down things you are grateful for and sharing with your friends and family.
• Clean out your basement of gently used or new toys, clothes, etc and donate them this holiday season 
• Look up family-friendly Thanksgiving crafts 
• Have a bake-off! Have the kids help bake or see who can come up with the best dessert for Thanksgiving
