No matter how you plan to celebrate the holidays this season, HealthCheck360 wants you to prioritize your health and well-being. If you're choosing to have a socially-distanced meal with family or having a toned-down Friendsgiving, we have some tips for you below.  

 The holidays can be a stressful time of year. If you're enjoying a socially distance holiday season we have some tips for you [here](https://www.healthcheck360.com/blog/staying-connected-during-covid-19) on how you can stay connected to your loved ones. But if you're planning on attending a get together with people who live outside of your home, read below for a few safety tips that can help you try to stay safe and healthy. Also remember to follow all local and state guidelines and gathering limitations for your area.  

- **Host an outside gathering.  **Obviously, this only works for those in the right climate, but if possible enjoy your meal and play outside.  
- **BYOM: Bring your own meal. **Bring your own meal and utensils to eat when you're with other people.  Bonus, you can prepare a healthy meal for yourself.  We recommend [one of these recipes.](https://www.healthcheck360.com/blog/tag/healthy-recipes) 
- **Wear a mask. ** Unless you're eating and drinking, wear your mask around others. While it may feel silly at first, it will relieve any of your party-going stress. Or, encourage the host to hold an "ugly holiday mask" contest. It is 2020 afterall...
- **Get a flu shot.  **Especially if you're traveling, getting a flu shot, washing your hands, and staying healthy can help you build your immunity. 

No matter how you celebrate, make sure you're prioritizing your health and well-being this year.  

Happy Holidays from HealthCheck360.  Stay well.
