A New Way To Have A Christmas Party Virtually With Social Distancing being a part of a lot of our lives this Christmas, meaning not a lot of Christmas parties going on but there is another way to celebrate.

Coordinate in advance what platform you'll use, like Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime, and make sure older and less tech-savvy family members will be able to participate by helping them get set up in advance. Have an agenda. It can be loose, but at minimum, it should include a time to log on, as well as a designated game or activity to fill any awkward silences. (Bustle, The Bash, and Elite Daily all have lists of several ideas.)
