This Thanksgiving will be unlike any other, this year it's probably going to suck.
There’s no doubt about it. Because of the pandemic many of us cannot go home to be with our family, we can’t celebrate by meeting our girlfriends at a buffet of delicacies at a luxury hotel or even meet around the corner at a diner for a turkey brunch. And, most likely, there’s not going to be a first date with a new man on Thanksgiving (though it could happen).
It seems that this is going to be the first of many holidays during the winter season alone.
Here are 5 suggestions for you to enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving while you contemplate what being with family, friends and that new man will be like next year.
1. Reach out to your family
Arrange a zoom call with your family and take advantage of not having to sit at the children’s table, loading the dishwasher or making sure Uncle Henry and Auntie Zelda doesn’t get too drunk and want to do the limbo dance.
Bonus points, you can leave when you want and blame it on a bad connection.
2. Plan Friendsgiving with your Besties
Set a late time with your girlfriends, preferably after 2 PM so that you can ease into your day, knowing that your friends will forgive you if you attend with bed head and wearing that tacky rock ‘n’ roll T-shirt from the concert you all attended together in college, and have a fun zoom call. If you feel comfortable with one another, plan on meeting at someone’s home in person with everyone bringing the one thing that they make really well. Yes, it’s hard to bring reservations.
3. Speak your gratitudes
Think of all the things you’re grateful for such as not having to get on an airplane or drive long distances, not having to pretend you enjoy eating something when you really don’t, being able to attend zoom Thanksgiving without taking a shower and only applying make up and throwing on a nice blouse (be sure to put on some type of bottoms in case you do dance breaks like me and my friends do). Feel gratitude that you don’t have to book that blowout and mani pedi, don’t have to leave your home, can eat whatever you want or what happens to be in your home.
4. Create a fabulous new personal holiday tradition
Watch your favorite movie, take an afternoon walk knowing that no one else is going to be around, take an online fun class (nothing work related), shop online for Secret Santa and all your holiday gifts. Or do what I do and just eat popcorn in the bathtub while talking on the phone with men you used to date and who are now friends.
5. Schedule a call with me
Yes, you can reach out to me and schedule a call to learn how to attract, date, and finally be in that relationship you’ve always wanted.
Dare To Date Differently program begins December 2 and next year can be completely different than this one.
