Ask ada: The APg Advice Column

12/16/2020

 
Ask Ada,

​
    Every year, I celebrate Christmas with my extended family. A lot of them come visit us from other places in California, like Half Moon Bay, and Bakersfield. How are we going to do Christmas this year without it involving something lame like Zoom?

Thanks,
Scared Over Christmas

Dear Scared Over Christmas,

    Let’s start by clarifying this: most people aren’t going to see their extended family. So don’t worry if you’re not seeing your whole family. Best case scenario you have a picnic outside with them. So, if you can’t see your larger family, how can Christmas still be fun? That’s why I’m here!

  1.  You can spread joy through Christmas cards! Decorate your tree and pose in front of it with silver garlands or cookies and hot cocoa. Cards are an awesome way to show that you care about someone, even if you aren’t going to see them in person. Get creative with your cards.
  2.  Decorate! Go all out! This is the year for decorations, sparkling lights, and ornaments. Decorating can be fun, and a good way to spread joy. This year me and my family decided to have a blast decorating, putting up festive lights and snow unicorns.
  3. The last thing you could try is up your gingerbread game. Instead of making a boring old gingerbread house, you can make something like a mermaid dome or a church, and then make it into a full-out movie, complete with a behind the scenes documentary and special effects. I’ve been doing this for a few years now, and it’s been so fun! This year we’re going to hold a gingerbread election. You can try something like that too.

I really hope you found these tips helpful, and I hope you can have a wonderful Christmas!
