Invite your family and friends to gather around the table, enjoy a hearty meal, and share your hopes and dreams for the upcoming year. Having everyone bring one dish makes things a lot more fun and affordable.

7. Make a Vision Board - Spend some time creating a vision board for the upcoming year. Use photos, quotes, and other visual elements to craft a board that helps you visualize and focus on your goals. Christians can do this as well. As long as we understand we are not manifesting anything, instead the LORD is giving us the strength and abilities to achieve our goals. Habbakuk 2:2 states to write the vision, and make it plain. and Romans 4:17 says that God calls the things that are not as though they were.
8. Take the Day Off - Give yourself a break and take the day off. Spend the day relaxing and focusing on yourself. Take a nap, read a book, or just do nothing.

10. Go Sledding – If you live in a snowy climate, go outside and enjoy the snow. Just make sure it is within you budget to do so.
11. Host a Board Game Tournament – Games are always so much fun so have a game night with friends and family.Just use whatever games you might already have. If none, play games like charades or another similar game.
12. Have a Photo Shoot – Get dressed up and take some fun photos to document the day. This is also a good way to see how far you have come once the year is over.
13. Plan a Trip – Start planning for a future getaway. Planning is always fun and planning for a trip can be super motivating to save money for said trip. Use resources such as Pinterest for a fun way to plan and visualize your trip.
14. Have a Spa Day – Take some time to unwind and relax by enjoying a spa day at home or with friends. This is a calm and relaxing way to ring in the New Year.
