Celebrating Christmas in the New Normal


December 11, 2020

It’s exactly 14 days before Christmas. Have you completed your gift list yet? What about the food to prepare for Noche Buena? 

For most Filipinos, Christmas is a tradition that should not be skipped but as much as we want to have a “normal” Christmas this year, there are certain things that can be totally different from our last  celebration.

Here’s how to celebrate and fully enjoy the “new normal” holidays with your family and friends, without compromising your health.

Host a virtual party - Since face-to-face gatherings like family reunions or office parties are still not allowed, throwing a ‘lit’ online party is a perfect way to celebrate this season separately but safely.  

There are many great apps that can help you connect with your family, friends and loved ones such as Zoom, Google Meet or Facebook Messenger.

Before the event, send out virtual invites  that can make your guests excited and keep the hype alive until the big day. You may set a theme for the party, share a list of games that you plan to do, ask your family to do a special number and prepare fun activities for the kids as well.

Send gifts that are useful and practical - It’s Filipinos’ nature to give gifts  during Christmas. That’s why restrictions under the new normal won’t keep us from  giving  gifts to our loved ones this year. It would be more practical to give useful items which are vital for their health and well-being such as a pack of face masks, sanitizers, bottles of alcohol or face shields.

More than anything, in order to ensure the absolute safety of your loved ones, why not give them health insurance that can provide them  peace of mind and save their  hard-earned money from paying hospital bills?
