It may not be possible to hold your usual Christmas parties because of the current restrictions to large gatherings but you can still celebrate and enjoy it all the same. Although you may have to get creative and make some adjustments.
Sure you can eat and toast with those you already live within the house, but for other things you like to do for Christmas you’d have to do them differently. The good news is that Christmas is still happening and you get to try something new and interesting to celebrate it! Using Matterport 3D virtual tours, for one, are becoming popular these days. You’ll get to see some examples below.
Having said that, here are some ideas that will help you create a celebration you and possibly your friends and relatives will remember and talk about in the years to come.
