How to celebrate our family Chirstmas Eve during Covid restricting group gatherings?
Our family, actually our daughter came up with the idea of having a Stillwater Christmas Scavenger Hunt. She created all the clues, made all the arrangements and did all the set up without any of our relatives being involved. We had it during the snow storm on Wed Dec 23rd and had 8 cars/families involved and it was a great success.
