Why to depend on your neighbors or other party-goers for enjoying the fireworks? Your own home can be the cradle of jubilation. It’s time for you to walk down the memory lane and revisit your childhood as you sit for an art and craft activity. Give a shout out to your kids calling them to the dining table as they come across a pleasant surprise of toilet paper rolls, wrapping paper, treats and other stationery supplies scattered over the table.

Move out of your home without actually moving out. It’s time to own a castle and be a ruler right inside the four walls of your home. The only thing you need to create your empire is a blanket and a few strings. Make a tent out of your blanket by fastening its ends to a rope or string that is tied to some hinges in your room. Gather some props like a tong that will be your sword for the night or a torch that will be the floodlight for the fort. Black out your room and have only the torch glowing inside the fort. Enigma and fantasy will join hands to make the night memorable for you. You can go a notch higher too by making the night full of horror. The same kind of setup is perfect setting for narrating horror stories if you are with a group of friends.
