Happy New Year!

It is the first day of the New Year and we all have another opportunity to start fresh.

Here are some ways to celebrate:

• At about midnight, or throughout the night in general, you and your family can gather together and reminisce about where the past year has taken each of you individually, and as whole family. Afterwards, make and share resolutions for the New Year and what you hope to achieve. You can even try to make a resolution as a family and be each other’s accountability partners.
• Celebrate the New Year in a different time zone. If there are younger children, it may be hard for them to stay awake all the way to midnight. Consider celebrating the New Year with a different country’s midnight. For example, depending on where you are in the world, try bringing in the New Year with New York, Paris or Greenland, that way, the kids can still celebrate the festivities, but also get to sleep at an earlier hour. Take it a step further, and make whatever country’s New Year you’re celebrating the theme for the night. If you want to celebrate Paris’ New Year, have crepes, fondue, quiche, wine, and cheeses.
