• A Time For Giving

 The Christmas season is typically a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for many people to celebrate the holiday in the way they are used to. Large gatherings and travel, which are often integral parts of Christmas celebrations, have become risky due to the spread of the virus.

As a result, many people have had to adapt their holiday plans and find new ways to celebrate Christmas during the new normal. Some have turned to virtual celebrations, connecting with loved ones through video calls and online gatherings. Others have opted for smaller, socially-distanced gatherings with just a few close family members or friends.

One silver lining of the pandemic has been the opportunity for people to get creative and find new ways to celebrate Christmas. Many have embraced the DIY spirit, making homemade gifts and decorations, or cooking and baking traditional holiday treats. Others have focused on the spirit of giving by participating in charitable acts, such as donating to those in need or volunteering at a local food bank.

Overall, the Christmas season during the new normal has been marked by a sense of adaptability and resilience. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, people have found ways to come together and spread cheer, even if it looks a little different than in years past.
