If you miss your family, watch this. | Mel Robbins

This is the first time in 26 years Chris and I are not spending the holidays as a family. I’m with our daughters while Chris stays with our son in Vermont where our son goes to high school.

The holidays are certainly going to be different for all of us this year. So why not lean in and do something really different? We used to have the traditional meal and get all dressed up but, this year we’re doing steaks and grilled oysters and wearing holiday themed costumes instead.

If it’s not going to be the same, shake things up and make it memorable. Here are a few ideas:

Costumes!
A different menu.
Pajamas all day.
A movie marathon.
Play games (our favorite is Heads Up).
Go for a hike or a bike ride.
Create a themed drink.
Make a scavenger hunt.
Do some arts and crafts.
Go crazy on the cheeseboard.

The point is: plan something. If you have something you’ve planned that you can look forward to, it will make your holidays better even though they’re different.

My favorite tradition at any family meal is to play “High Low,” just go around the table and describe your high and your low. It could be for the day or perhaps the entire year. As Chris says in this video, we’ll always have Zoom so our family will be playing it over Zoom this year.

Thanks Mel. Watching this video with tears in my eyes but a smile on my face. I miss my family deeply since moving away to a new city for work and haven’t seen them in 1 year

Thanks Mel, I haven't seen my partner since March 2020. She's in Montreal, i'm in Massachusetts. Almost one year because of border closures. And yet we're still going strong, surely with challenges, but still choosing eachother. It makes you appreciate all the small things that happen in person so much more. Zoom is not the same, but thank god it exists. Hoping i'll see her soon ❤️

Love you, Mel!
Miss my grandkids but lots of facetime and some distance visits
This is such great advice. I've been saying much the same things to friends that are not coping as well

Good attitude and I like it. I miss my father, who I've not seen for a year and a half now, a lot (as much of a pain in the backside he can be, bet he says the same about me!), and the fact (as an "international") I can not just travel when I like and not been able to for that amount of time. Lots of us (except for the super rich with their own planes etc.) are in the same boat (or not rather!! Ha ha..), and I've made some new interesting "virtual" contacts - who hopefully I'll meet up with once this shit storm is over! Take care all xxxx
