With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 making its way through the United States, going out for New Years may not be at the top of your priority list. But never fear, Premier Patient Housing has put together a list of 8 things you can do at home to ring in the new year, without the worry or risk of getting sick.

Make a 2021 Memory Board

2021 definitely had its ups and downs, mark the special moments by making a memory board or scrapbook! Get creative through a timeline of pictures or simply write down your favorite moments from your year. You can make your own or even make one for everyone in your household.

Make a List of Things you want to Accomplish in the New Year

Why limit yourself to one New Years resolution? Consider making a list of things you want to accomplish in 2022. Call your friends and family and ask them to contribute to your list while also encouraging them to do the same! See how many things you can mark off your list in 2022!

Make a Playlist of Your Favorite Songs of 2021

Want to dance the night away but don’t want to leave the house? Have a dance party in your own living room and play all of your favorite songs that came out in 2021!

Make a Time Capsule List

Make a little time capsule list by asking your friends about their favorite movie last year, the best thing that happened to them last year, and what they want to accomplish in the new year. Put it in an envelope and read it at the next New Years party when you can all be together.

Make New Years Balloons

Want to go into the New Year with a literal bang? Fill balloons with confetti and pop them all at midnight!
