It is the year we've all set our hopes upon; 2021 is within reach and it's one so many of us want to celebrate and you still can.

Dr. Rachel O'Neill says it might look a little different, but it's still important and possible to ring in the new year with joy even it's not dinner or a party.

"Maybe those things don't look the same, or maybe they're not available in the same, but perhaps starting a new routine, a new ritual," said Rachel O'Neil from preferred Care Counseling.

The new rituals can be things that keep us safe, as well.

According to the CDC, staying at home with family and celebrating virtually with friends is a great way to enjoy the new year.

One good idea that the CDC says to stay healthy, is to Postpone holiday travel and think about watching live-streamed celebrations and finding something meaningful for you and those you love from 2020.

"So one of the things that 2020 has taught us is that we're capable of change and we're capable of resiliency and dynamics are incredibly important," O'Neill said
