There’s no question that everyone wants to see the end of 2020.

And while everyone and their grandma would like to celebrate the end of the longest year in history, there aren’t a lot of options this year.

Families won’t be popping champagne and singing “Auld Lang Syne” arm in arm together. Fireworks won’t light up the skies in many towns. Some of the usual establishments won’t be opening their doors this year.

You’re going to have to get a little creative when thinking of ways to send 2020 off into the sunset. Here are five ideas to help you get started.
