Holiday Lights Drive-Thru: Having Fun During COVID-19
There's fun and safe ways to celebrate the holidays during Coronavirus/COVID-19. And this is one of the best ways to get into the holiday spirit!
1) Getting Together - Make some holiday snacks and hot cocoa and gather your household in the car. Think of it as a local road trip.
2) Finding Decorated Houses - Don't know what neighborhoods have lots of lights and other displays? Start with Christmas Light Finder: https://www.christmaslightfinder.com/. Or look up websites for your area as neighborhoods and homes have their own specific sites too.

3) Music - Some neighbors broadcast music on the radio that's choreographed with their decorations. If that's not available, create your own playlist and listen to it on your adventure.
4) Fun With Kids - Make it into a game. Have them count how many Santa Claus' they see. Make some simple cards for Bingo for finding elves, snowmen, and other decor. Ask them to make up a story about the displays.
5) Share- Let your friends and family know about the fun by posting photos on social media. Use the tag #ChristmasLights, #AfterHanukkah, #HappyKwanzaa, etc. Even better, make one for your family like #(familyname)LightNight

From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation.
