There are lots of traditional ways to do that by driving through neighborhoods with spectacular lighting displays, by Spotifying holiday playlists and by visiting with Santas (albeit socially distanced ones), for example. Here are some other suggestions, cooked up by the merry crew at

VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) Wabash Valley McDonald’s owner/operators donated $25,000 to Isaiah 117 House in Vincennes at a check presentation on Wednesday. Isaiah 117, which is currently under construction, will serve as a safe space for children awaiting foster care placement after being removed from their home by the Department of Children Services (DCS).
“This project is so important for Knox County and the surrounding area,” said local McDonald’s owner/operator Wally Nowakowski. “The Isaiah House will provide a caring atmosphere for children right here in our own community during a potentially traumatic time in their lives.”
