Please be prepared for Inauguration Day! I’m watching the weather and the news on TV today and hoping for a wonderful Inauguration Day on Monday, January 20th, 2025. Let’s not talk about Republicans, Democrats, or Independents. Let’s talk about the unity of our country and the world and unity with family and friends.
I don’t remember this negative nature among all parties in my lifetime. This includes tension among family and friends over who might be or was elected. It’s like the elephant in the room, so to speak. I typically don’t say much about my feelings regarding current events since it often brings on a negative reaction from others. I’m pretty quiet except when I get the giggles, but in some circles, the election results became no laughing over this election.
We all know there were repercussions after the election of Joe Biden four years ago. The pundits aren’t expecting an uproar as the preparations take place for the inaugural ceremonies for current President-Elect Donald Trump to be our new President Donald Trump. Of course, what may happen along Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Mall in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., is much different than what residents may experience in their hometowns across America.
There have been extensive construction activities to erect public viewing areas and needed road closures will be monitored by capital police along the parade route for the Inaugural Parade and near the stage area where the inaugural address is given. For those who were lucky enough to be given one of the limited number of tickets, plan on long lines, particularly at the portable toilet facilities.

I suggest the following before Inauguration Day:
We must go forward and hope for a better America and better relations with other countries. The votes came in, and whatnot, and I’m excited about a change, and our government needs one badly. No matter where you live, there are things you should consider doing before, during, and after the swearing-in ceremony. I’m hoping we have a smooth and uneventful transition, so you’ll see I’m suggesting things that you’d prepare to do with family and friends. I’ve also listed a few things that may help if things get out of hand close to home.
- Fill your gas tank before the weekend.
- Please stock water in case local riots break out and you must hunker down.
- Have at least 30 days’ worth of food in your home by this weekend.
- Get some popcorn; it’s a great snack, or you can make my Caramel Popcorn.
- Choose some drinks to serve to friends and family.
- Chips and Dips are excellent, or Appetizers.
- Make Hot Cocoa or Hot Chocolate.
- Make a platter with vegetables, cheese, meat, and fruit.
- Order hot wings.
- Order pizza.
- My favorite would be Mexican food.
- Be aware of your surroundings in your neighborhood and if you see anything out of the ordinary, call 911. We all appreciate a safe and secure environment no matter where we live and what our political feeling are.
- Stay home like me, if possible, and enjoy the musical performances, opening remarks, and a better view of events than even foreign leaders in attendance experience.
- Pray for our Country and our new Leaders.
- No matter what you do, enjoy a well-deserved day off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day which happens to also be Inauguration Day Monday, January 20, 2025.
Final Word
I’ve been wanting to write about Inauguration Day for a few days. I contacted those family members and friends to be prepared before the big day if things happen that we may not expect, like riots. I don’t want to be fearmongering, but we must be realistic, be prepared for the worst, and enjoy the best. May God Bless this world, Linda
