So, even if it’s just about staying at home and you cannot go out and party, you can do amazing things at home. The best is about staying together for the whole day and sharing individual stories from each other’s life. 

The other way is catching up with a bowl of popcorn and watching a movie or a Netflix series together.

Although the day is about sibling love, it’s also about connecting the family. Every celebration is, in fact, a way of connecting each member of the family. So, while COVID-19 has played this prank on us, it has quarantined us all inside our houses, and we are working from our homes, it has unknowingly come up with good things too. 

Now, we have enough time to connect with our loved ones. We now have enough time to talk about things we have forgotten about. We have enough time to contemplate the kind of life they have been living. So, you have occasion also, so why just to celebrate with your sibling. You can involve the whole family. For the ones who are living together can enjoy the quality time together. And, for those who are living far apart, you can connect via a video call (group video call). Sounds interesting!

Missing Them Genuinely? Remember them Heartily!

For those who have unfortunately lost their siblings, this is the perfect way to remember them heartily. While, all these years, every second of the day, you miss them, but Siblings Day 2020 is a special time of the year when you must remember them. 

On Siblings Day 2020, what you can do is remember them the whole day. One of the best ways would be to cook something that he/she liked the most. What you can do is, call upon some of the underprivileged children from your neighborhood and feed them with this food. This would surely establish a soulful connection with your siblings who are watching you from the heavens, being proud of you.

Want to feel like a child all over again? Recreate pictures from childhood!

So, because you are in quarantine, you have enough time & energy to recreate those childhood pictures. Remember the most memorable picture that you have & your siblings always loved looking at. For this occasion, a picture that reminisces of the funniest in your relationship is the perfect thing. On siblings, Day 2020, pose around in a similar way and recreate that moment.

Want to Confess Your Love? Create a Social Media Post!

Siblings don’t usually confess their love for each other. This is because of the kind of equation they share. Fights and competitive spirit are all that this relationship has looked like. But, there’s another side of the coin too. 

So, if you have siblings and you have been looking out for that perfect time to confess your love then this is the time. In the Digital World, when you can say it all from the comfort of your homes, the best way is to write a social media post (a palpably moving one). 

Design a Facebook or Instagram post consisting of a wonderfully palpable piece of content along with a childhood picture of you both. So, while she is resting or doing her stuff in the neighboring room, you can post it and surprise her (without giving any clue).

Want to fight together COVID-19? Spread the Message of Staying Home!

The need of the hour is to spread the awareness of staying home, spreading the awareness about social distancing, coming out to help people who are in need, and strengthening the hope of people. Celebrate this siblings Day 2020 with a uniquely broader perspective showing camaraderie with the world at large. Be one, be hopeful!!
