[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Use a tablecloth and drag out the good dishes? Have the kids decorate the chandelier over the table. It doesn’t have to be magazine worthy, just fuss a little.[/quote] This. Plus, everyone should dress up. And, everyone should be present. That means your cell phones and screens are shut off and nowhere in sight. Lastly, facetime or zoom with additional guests. We have the grandparents join us for dessert and coffee; we prop the laptop on the end of the dining room table. Last night I facetimed my sister and her family in another state so they could watch the birthday girl open presents and sing happy birthday with us. [/quote] It’s all about what makes you happy! This works for some. We have been doing the opposite the past year. This means for special occasions we cook a lot of food and have several courses and everyone eats in pjs. No phones or electronics. No FaceTime or zoom at the table. Just the immediate family. My oldest is a teen and he even likes the new holiday or birthday pj with lots of food tradition. We talk to relatives before or after the meal. [/quote]
