How to make Christmas more fun with two fed up teens?

[tinkywinkyshandbag]

Covid and all, this Christmas is shaping up to be pretty crap so far. DH had recently started a new job (hallelujah as he's been unemployed since Jan) but is now feeling stressed and physically under the weather. Oldest DD home from uni, also stressed, slight boyfriend issues. Younger DD has some ongoing mental health issues, which I am keeping a watchful eye on. I'm just fat and menopausal. Like most people it feels like we have nothing to look forward to, the girls can't do anything or see their friends, we obviously have nothing social going on, I was planning some family lunches out and things after Christmas itself but there is this looming likelihood of further lockdown, the weathers crap, it just all feels so blah. I think suggesting a games night or similar would go down like a lead balloon but otherwise I think we will all spend Christmas separately with the girls in their rooms, DH on his laptop and me on Mumsnet. How can I rescue it or should I just give up and let everyone be miserable in peace?

Hi thanks all - some lovely ideas here, DH working until tomorrow lunchtime but we are having party food and prosecco tomorrow night, might see if they will watch a movie with me tonight - I've got a booster set for Cards against Humanity and a Friends trivial pursuit game as part of their presents so we can play those...just hope DH feels better as he is soooooooo grumpy at the moment, not feeling well which sucks but the grumpiness doesn't help!

I’m making my eldest stay downstairs during the day during school holidays, though yesterday she was so annoying I was tempted to let her go back upstairs by mid day. We are going to attempt a walk tomorrow but if one tiny drop of rain falls dd1 will declare she’s not going. I might force them to play a board game later.
