Staying safe for the holidays

 — Christmas 2020 is already looking different. Indeed the holidays as a whole have a different feel to them. 

We continue to make sacrifices for safety sake. Thanksgiving was marked by fewer bear hugs and kisses as families cautiously reunited. Some were virtual Zoom sessions. Zoom’s holiday gift was to lift time restrictions so that extended virtual visits could be enjoyed (will this also happen at Christmas, I wonder?).


As much as I hate we have to isolate (virtual is never a substitute for real interaction) I know that the current technology can also bring people together over hundreds or thousands of miles without the expense and hassle of travel — something not all of us can afford. 


Let’s pray for safety and a return to the days of holiday hugs and kisses in 2021.
