Yes, one more year has just passed. We are again preparing the turkey, pumpkin, and cranberry for the festive dinner of Thanksgiving. It’s uplifting, heart-warming, and relaxing, but what could make this year’s holiday season more special? A new receipt? Another table cloths? A more moving TV program after the delicious dinner? American Escape Rooms have assembled 3 more relevant ideas to make this year’s Thanksgiving holiday the best!
The family who is who?
In the best case, a family is very extended. Relatives you have never seen before are part of the family tree, and at least one time in life, it would be helpful to introduce each other. Use the family focus on Thanksgiving and contact these relatives! If it is possible, organize an extended family reunion for the Thanksgiving dinner! In case of immense distances, apply the wonders of the XXI. century technical development and bring them to the festive table through video chat!
The “new” relatives can share funny family legends, anecdotes and, anyway, they can color this Thanksgiving holiday season. You can learn more about the origin, history, and traditions of your family so that you can hand them over to your children and grandchildren. What else should Thanksgiving be about?
Escape room
Thanksgiving is more about the family, cozy moments rather than the crazy, loud parties with the guys. Finally, we can spend more quality time with our loved ones. We can do programs together like forest tours, hiking, riding bicycles along the shore, or simply preparing the Thanksgiving dinner with joint power.
We might feel that during the craziness of the day-by-day rush, the tight-knit powers of the family are weakening. How could we stop or even turn back this progress? Doing activities requiring teamwork like cooking, cleaning the house together, or taking part in family-challenge free time programs. Another option to strengthen the family bond is the year-round available escape games. This detective story-simulator provides families with the opportunity to relearn each other, rediscover the suppressed skills and abilities of the family members, and have a lot of fun together for at least 60 minutes in the escape room.
The most important strategy we should apply to find the exit from the escape room is cooperation. We ought to work together, support, and encourage each other. In the team, we are not equal, but nobody is less than the other, just different. These distinct personalities making up the family team are more effective than struggling alone with the mind-boggling puzzles of the escape room.
Communication is a critical element of the solving process in the escape room. This exigency can reboot the flow of information between even family members who might have conflicts with each other and have limited chat between themselves.
This supporting teamwork can make even the arguing family members put aside their conflicts in the escape room and mend their relation. Anyway, an escape game is not a supreme power, making wonder, but it could work like a magic wand to make the spell. Don’t you believe it? Let’s experience it before or after the Thanksgiving dinner 2021!
Donation
At Thanksgiving, we would like to express our gratitude for the whole year, including all the opportunities, people, physical and spiritual power. If we swap our “glasses” to a more positive one and look back at this year, we will admit that, despite the challenges, we live in favor of the faith. Have a look around and realize that millions of people are waiting for their lucky portion from the faith or whatever. These portions are already on the way towards them; however, this supreme power seeks some assistance in the shape of other people, like you or me.
To make this year’s Thanksgiving the best, make the others’ Thanksgiving brighter! There is an endless list about how to carry out this. Just to mention some from there:
- Do volunteering for a nursing home
- Support with your unnecessary clothes, accessories an orphanage
- Take sometimes part in food sharing for the homeless
- Text or call some of your old friends, relatives, maybe some ex-classmates or your favorite teachers living alone or in need
- Donate blood only if it’s possible and healthy for you
Bringing about joy for others is a unique but the most effective way to make this year’s Thanksgiving the best. So what’s your next to make this Thanksgiving the best?
