Keep Connected During the Holidays
From Thanksgiving through New Year, things can get quite chaotic. Get togethers, Christmas parties, special events and the like, there’s only so much time during the week to get everything in.
Whether you’re spending any time this season with friends and family or congregating while being miles apart, technology, like HTC Internet, can provide some great ways to keep connected and not miss out on its importance.
Video Chat With Faraway Friends & Family
The simplest (and effective) way to keep in touch with loved ones is via video chat. There are a many different options when it comes to video chat services (think Skype or FaceTime). And the best part? Most of them let you talk to a bunch of family members at once. It’s the next best thing to meeting up at Grandma’s house!
Get Creative By Playing Video Games or Watching Movies Together Online
If you’re looking to stay even more connected during the holidays, try something new by taking that video chat to the next level. In 2024, video chat is a pretty versatile tool that can allow you to play an online video game with your friends and keep the video screen open so you can see their reactions (think Discord). Even better, you can press play on a streaming version of your favorite holiday movie while your grandparents pop in their old VHS copy at the same time.
Give The Gift Of Communication
Having trouble staying in touch with older relatives? Think about purchasing a laptop or tablet for them to help make communication easier. Plus, helping them set up video chat or email is, itself, quality time together.
 Special Moments Sharing With a Private Photo-Sharing App
Want to share holiday highlights with your family but not on social media? Try one of the countless private photo-sharing apps like FamilyAlbum or PhotoCircle.
Invent A New Tradition
We all know the holidays are a time to connect with loved ones, but it can be tough to find the time to stick to old school family traditions. So, take the time to invent a new one. It can be a regular Skype call or a holiday board game night. Do what can work with your family and make memories for years to come!
