Take care of yourself!
No snow? No problem! Reserve a timeslot at one of Sherbrooke's arenas or at a rink near you. If all else fails, break out your skateboard to keep things rolling!
No large gatherings, but that’s okay. Here’s a challenge for you: call 24 people in 24 minutes!
It’s still possible to celebrate. Improvise your own carol, get out on your balcony and sing to the world!
On the menu: pyjamas and board games! Play the classics: Pictionary, charades, Monopoly, card games, etc.
