Christmas will never be the same this year, 2020. Gone are the days when families troop to the plaza awaiting to witness the Grand Lighting of the Christmas tree, sang traditional Christmas carols with friends or bring sweet treats to share for the party. Crowd-drawing events like office parties, traditional Christmas dinner, Church masses and or Christmas shops and bazaar that sells Christmas decorations and toys have now become a distant memory.
But even if the pandemic allows us to forego these traditions we hold dear and distance ourselves from people we love the most. With the right mindset and positive attitude we can have a lovely and magical Christmas regardless, yes we still can.
These new modifications can help us navigate a happy Christmas as well as create new traditions that will last a lifetime. These number of new Christmas Traditions could include:
