Ideas for New Holiday Traditions This Season 

While the holiday season may be a little different this year for some families due to the pandemic, that does not mean family traditions have to be abandoned completely! Why not use this year to establish some fun new traditions with your family, or try different twists on longstanding ones? Here are some suggestions for how to connect with loved ones during the holiday season why still maintaining physical distance.

Play Long Distance Games with Family 

Video games have long had the option for players from around the world to connect but there are ways to play popular board and card games virtually as well! Family favorite games like Monopoly, Scattergories and Uno all have online versions you can play with friends and family. You can also hop on Zoom or Facebook Rooms to have a video conference with family members to play fun games like Charades, Who in the Room, or Trivia.

Do a Virtual Watch Party of Your Favorite Christmas Movies 

Does your family have favorite holiday movies that you watch together every year? You still can with new streaming technology and the help of ultra-fast one-gig internet at your Ten Trails home. Many streaming services like Netflix or Sling offer opportunities to create a “watch party” with friends and family members who are also subscribers. Chat on video while the film plays, and you can offer commentary and enjoy all your favorite scenes together.

Zoom Holiday Formal 

Do you miss getting dressed up for a night out? Get decked out in your favorite holiday attire and attend a holiday formal with friends or coworkers via Zoom. Ideas for sharing this event including picking out one or two appetizer recipes ahead of time that you will each make and share together during the party. Select a few special holiday-themed cocktails or mocktails to toast with while showing off your festive outfits.

Take Part in a Remote Baking Competition 

Holiday time is synonymous with baked goods and there is no reason this year should be an exception! Enter a friendly competition with friends, neighbors, or family members by baking up your best sweet treats and shipping or dropping off small batches to your baking competitors. Decide on a rating system beforehand and each member on the competition gets to vote for which treat they like best. Suggestions for voting categories include: “best decoration,” “best taste,” “most creative,” “best texture.” and “best overall.” Plant a New Year Tree Many cultures celebrate the new year by decorating or planting a tree — similar to the common practice in this country of putting up a Christmas tree. To mark the passage of 2020 and transition to 2021, your family could adopt this tradition and plant a tree or purchase a new houseplant to commemorate the holiday and represent a symbol of growth and life for the coming year. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043

Tips to Keep in Mind When Searching for Your New Home 

Home is more important than ever before. When considering a move, the goal is to get as close as possible to all the elements that you are searching for in your new space. Below are a few tips to consider when researching your move.

Buy vs. Rent 

When looking for your new home, consider whether you want to make the commitment to purchase a property or rent your new home. Both options have their advantages, and you can decide what is best for your family given your current circumstances. Ten Trails has options for both purchasing a home or townhome, or renting one of our upcoming apartments in The Village at Ten Trails.

Decide Your Priorities

Before you begin your search for a new home, sit down with your family members and make a list of priorities for your new space. Consider how your family lives and uses your current home and what elements may be lacking. If you work from home, perhaps you are looking for a home with space for an office or option for 1-gig ultra-fast internet speed. If you have a large family, maybe you want a home with enough bedrooms so each family member has their own space. Whatever your priorities, keep them in mind when looking at homes so that you do not get overwhelmed by options and lose sight of your original goals for moving.

Gather Information

Ten Trails has a wealth of resources to help you in your home search! Our team at our Welcome Center can answer many of your questions about the community and assist you with scheduling your model home tour. Our builders also have sales consultants dedicated to the community who can help you select the home, townhome or apartment that best fits your family’s needs.

Why You Might Want to Consider Purchasing a Home Now

While we are living in uncertain times, one thing has been made abundantly clear during stay-home orders, and that is the importance of feeling comfortable in one’s home. Read on to consider why buying a new home now may be a good idea for your family!

Low Interest Rates 

Thanks to historically low interest rates, buying your dream home may be more possible now than ever before! National mortgage interest rates have continued to lower over the past several months and are now hovering around 3.1%. If you are in the market for a new home, now may be a great time to buy!

A Clearer Idea of Needs

Spending more time at home has shown a big spotlight on what works – and what does not in our current homes. Maybe you need a home office space to continue to work from home? Or maybe you need faster internet for your work video calls? Or perhaps your kids need a loft area or playroom for keeping their toys tucked away? More time at home has given many of us much-needed insight into aspects of our homes that are not as functional as they could be.

Wide Variety of Home Choices at Ten Trails

Our brand new homes at Ten Trails offer plenty of space for your family to spread out while enjoying all the modern comforts of home like one-gigabit speed internet for streaming, gaming and video conferencing. Wi-Fi-enabled appliances and other features like Ring video doorbells and Nest thermostats come standard in many of the homes in the community. We also offer a wide variety of floorplans to suit all family sizes from modern townhomes to multi-generational homes and ramblers!
