New Years Eve Activity Ideas:
Some of you will be staying warm & cozy at home on New Year’s Eve with friends and family. If you don’t already have plans, here are a few ideas for fun activities that you can do on New Year’s Eve while you’re waiting for the ball to drop. My favorite is the “Time Capsule” and you can do that even if you’re home alone.
- Have a Game Marathon and see how many different games you can play before midnight.
- Puzzle Mania – Have a race with another group or see if you can finish a big one before midnight.
- Have a Dance Party or a Home Band
- Set up Virtual or Zoom Calls with a different family member each hour.
- Year in Review Picture Show – Hook your phones up to your TV and start with January and look at all the pictures you’ve taken throughout the year.
- Family Bucket List – Sit and make a list with your family of what things you want to do in the coming year be it projects, trips or adventures.
- Time Capsule – Not one you bury in the ground but one you look at every year. List the important, fun, difficult, sad, and anything else you and your family have done this year. Either put photos or other small things in an envelope or just write them on a piece of paper so you can review each New Years. Here’s a list of some ideas to include in your family’s time capsule.

Looking for a forever home! This is Walter, a very sweet, mellow boy
about 3 years old. He absolutely loves people, going on walks, and dogs (who aren’t crazy puppies!). He is house trained, alert barks ONLY, and has an appointment to be neutered. He would be great for anyone who likes to walk and wants a relaxed, loving
companion.
Please call ARF to meet Walter.
