Give me something to sing about

This stupid year, December 48th 2020 edition. My mom died on Christmas, a victim of corona. We buried her on 12/31. As you can imagine, times are grim on a micro level as well as the macro. Give me your ideas on celebrating something during the "yo, the holidays are over, man" period of the bleakest winter days.

There is a teen Kid Gyre who had a pretty unhappy Christmas break. (not to mention, me) I want to have a do-over of sorts. What sorts of things/ideas do you guys have that we could do? I have looked at Candlemas - which is intriguing, but I'm not sure how exciting "get up Kid Gyre, we're having Crepes!" will be. I was thinking of ... we will have a fancy meal the eve of ?? do over?? and then take off work/school for ??do over??? day..... the potential threat of the virus is keeping me from saying "Fuck it, let's hie off to the beach" so other fun activity suggestions appreciated.

Non-religious household here, not looking to cast disrespect on anyone's beliefs. But geez, I hate bleak January and February in the best of years - cold, dark, dreary. I just feel like we need something to look forward to for a bit.

Any suggestions?

(bonus points for knowing the title reference)
