Try These 3 New Holiday Traditions for 2020

This year’s celebrations will certainly be different, but there are still ways to keep the happy in your holidays! Now could be the perfect time to start new traditions that last well beyond our current situation. Feel free to put your family’s twist on these ideas for 2020 holiday traditions:

Throw a virtual holiday party

With large parties and gatherings on hold, virtual get-togethers are the next best thing! Here are a few ways to add some holiday spice to your video calls:

Holiday Sweater from Goodwill

• Ask everyone to wear their best tacky holiday sweater. The most festive or unusual sweater wins! (P.S. Goodwill has a huge array of holiday sweaters, both silly and stylish!)
• Play a game like online holiday bingo, virtual trivia, charades, or an at-home scavenger hunt.
• Sing karaoke to holiday songs.
• Watch a holiday movie and quote your favorite lines.
• Make the same holiday craft using supplies from Goodwill. Gingerbread houses, anyone?

Wicker Baskets from Goodwill

Deliver cheer near and far

Nowadays, it’s even more important to stay in touch with those we love. If you can’t celebrate in person, sending a heartfelt card or gift is a wonderful way to let your loved ones know you’re thinking of them. From DIY cards to homemade cookies and custom gift baskets filled with goodies from Goodwill, there’s no shortage of ways to spread the love! You could send your package by snail mail or drop it off at a loved one’s door for contactless delivery. Everyone loves a holiday surprise!

Donate to Goodwill and change a life!

Give the gift of good

There’s no better feeling than helping others. After all, that’s what the season of giving is all about! At Ohio Valley Goodwill, we make it easy to give back to your community and make a lasting difference. Every item you purchase from our stores or donate at one of our convenient donation centers goes on to support life-changing job training and employment services for individuals with disabilities.

This year, give the gift of good with Goodwill! Gather up your donations and head to a nearby donation center, or shop at one of our Goodwill retail stores for all your holiday needs. We’ll see you soon!
