Aperto Wishes You A Safe Holiday

Holiday relics set against a wooden background

The holiday season has come roaring in and normally, we’d be excited to get together with loved ones. Fellowship and good food are always one of the best parts however due to the ongoing pandemic there are a lot of changes to the year-end festivities. However, all hope is not lost. There are a couple of ways to still celebrate with your loved ones and enjoy your holiday in your APERTO home. 

 

Gatherings

The holidays usually call for the coming together of friends and family, reflecting and fellowshipping over some delicious food or strong drink.  Doing this in person, although ideal, may not be safe so an alternative would be, you guessed it, VIRTUAL GATHERINGS

It may not sound as appealing but think about it. There are some upsides to virtual get together versus in-person ones. Most of us have certain family members that bring awkward conversation or who like to poke and prod in our lives. A virtual gathering limits the ability for those unwanted conversations yet still allows you to spend the necessary time with loved ones. 

The Meal 

Preparing your Thanksgiving meal for your pandemic-controlled event can go one of two ways. You can choose to slave in the kitchen like a normal holiday or you can purchase your food items premade. Premade food saves you time and is ultimately a safer option than having people over who bring their own dish. The less physical contact each one of us has with such sensitive items the better. Places like Popeyes offers delicious premade Turkeys and sides. Get your whole Thanksgiving meal and not even break a sweat. 

Black Friday

Finally, we cannot talk about the holidays and fail to mention that it also doubles as the biggest shopping season of the year. The following day after Thanksgiving, millions of people rush to the stores to snatch those deals for their holiday shopping lists. Due to the pandemic and mass mall closures, the best way to shop for the ones you love is online. There are so many virtual Black Friday sales going on currently and are soon to come as the holiday approaches, your charge cards are going to blaze!

 

This holiday season is safe and remembers to show gratitude for all things. Happy Holidays from, Aperto Property Management

Fun Holiday Apartment Party Theme Ideas.

Fun Holiday Apartment Party Theme Ideas.

It’s finally December, and the season for all things festive! And what a lovely reason to celebrate with your loved ones as a way to enjoy their company. Here are some fun holiday-themed party ideas that you can pull off in the comfort of your apartment.

 

Cookie exchange.

This is a very delicious party! In a cookie exchange party, the point is to bring homemade baked cookies! Make a tally and share with your invitees how many guests you are expecting, that way there’s plenty of cookies. If you’re planning on having milk, make sure to have alternative milk options that way everyone can enjoy their cookies on site!

 

Holiday pajamas.

Thought about an Ugly Sweater party? Do a Holiday Pajamas get-together instead! You’ll get to wear your most festive pjs! Order some take-out for a nice night in and have a holiday movie marathon!

 

White Elephant Gifts.

You’ve heard about it but never actually played it. Yes: a white elephant gift “exchange.” Instead of having to worry about buying the perfect Secret Santa gift for a particular person you got assigned, with a “white elephant,” it’s all about bringing in a tasteless and often impractical item that people will try to win over. Read more rules on how to do a white elephant here!

 

Gingerbread House Making Contest.

This can become a family-friendly contest! Buy a lot of gingerbread house sets and bring some extra frosting. You can even ask your guests to bring additional supplies to decorate their own and to share! Whether this is a contest or not, having everyone at the same table working on a project will make for quality bonding time.

 

Holiday Carol-oke.

Do you love to sing? Then host a karaoke night! Set up your screen, whether if it’s your TV’s or your computer’s by looking up and queuing the karaoke versions to your favorite Holiday songs!
