Thanksgiving in Auruora is usually the time of year where family and friends come together to celebrate all that we are thankful for.  With the pandemic still affecting how we gather this year one of our favorite holidays may look a little different this year. 

If you are looking for a way to downscale this Thanksgiving holiday here are five ideas for celebrating Thanksgiving in Aurora this year.

Host a Pot Luck

Invite a few friends or family over for a Thanksgiving pot luck. Be certain to assign a variety of dishes from appetizers, to sides, and dessert. Use decorative paper plates, napkins, and silverware to make the task of cleaning easier and the need for multiple people in the kitchen at a minimum.

Thanksgiving Take Out

Cringing at the thought of cooking Thanksgiving dinner in your Kirkland Crossing apartment? Then order take-out. Your local supermarket has many offerings from completely pre-cooked meals, side dishes, and more. 

You can also order a turkey online from William-Sonoma or Harry and David.

Celebrate the Holiday with Family and Friends via Zoom

Just because family and friends can’t gather like they usually do, doesn’t mean you can’t be together. There are a lot of online options to celebrate a virtual Thanksgiving. 

Set a time to eat and have a Zoom meal together! Swap family recipes and make a toast or share what you are thankful for! 

Don’t forget the Thanksgiving photo. Do a Zoom selfie of the entire gang!

Take a Walk

These walking trails near your Aurora apartment are the perfect way to walk off that turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy calories.

Take a Nap 

The tryptophan in turkey makes you tired, so a nice nap on Thanksgiving Day in your Aurora apartment is another way to keep up your Thanksgiving traditions.
