Little bit of abnormal bit c1 3 lisa: even though the holidays are going to be a lot different this year, we lisa: even though the holidays are going to be a lot different this year, we shouldn't lose the holiday spirit.

There are ways to enjoy and celebrate while safely distancing.

The question is how do we do that?

So joining us with more is tv host and working mom, erica vetrini.

Thank you for joining us, erica.

Erica: lisa, thank you so much for having me.

Lisa: well, so tell us, will it be possible to celebrate safely this year?

Erica: it is possible to celebrate safely.

I truly do believe that and i think it's all about carrying on those traditions and to keep it safe and keep it simple.

I've worked with some wonderful brands to offer you some great tips.

Lisa: and, you know, the holidays are so much about sharing food with family.

Are there better ways to do that now?

Erica: yes, i think there are.

You're right, for christmas, i host about 40, thanksgiving about 25, so this year it's going to be just my immediate family and i'm shifting gears.

I decided to keep things super, super simple and really focus on spending more quality time with my loved ones.

In fact, the chinette brand did a survey recently where 35% of the respondents said that they were most likely going to be using disposable tableware thit ting the same thing.

But i'm a hoings fem highly recommending that tion be it's beautiful, it' their p are just, they come in this perfect they make the table look gorgeous ag away o great for tho wanhen and more time fo that's tip numr one.

Lisalyr party a lot easier.

You know, that are hosts year that ha for those folks?

E: yeathe first thing i'm going to sugy or the ham, to go smatover, but thh part oe big meal items that we look forward to.

The second tip is to really turn to good places for some really good help.

And for me, that's target.

So target has their safe contactless services that include their drive up, their order pickup and their same day delivery with shipt where you can get everything that you can possibly need for the holidays, including your fresh and frozen groceries, which now can be delivered nationwide and you don't need a membership.

So you can get everything from your turkey, frozen, i cooked this myself, to fresh string beans.

You can also get ready- made items like garlic mashed potatoes, you can get cherry pie, or you can also pick up some appetizers like brie with some fig and rosemary crackers, that's a big hit, always.

And they're doing something else this holiday season, they're enhancing all of these services.

So now you're going to get 8,000 more drive up spots in addition to shipt has added 100,000 more shoppers so that it's now even going to be even easier and even safer to shop at target, which is great.

In fact, everything that i got here was delivered same day from target.

Lisa: fantastic.

And where can we go for more information?

Erica: you can head to my website, which is ericavetrini.com and all this information will be right there.

Lisa: wonderful.
