Due to the Covid-19 fuelled pandemic outbreak this year Christmas and New Year may not be quite the same. The best way to celebrate Christmas and NY Eve this year is to make it a homely and private affair, not only in the light of rapidly increasing infection count in the United States but also to avoid rubbing in the inequality in the face of the less fortunate. Calling for lavish decorations or unnecessary splurging is only going to make it cringe worthy, what in the wake of millions dead and dying and the even more left jobless and unemployed.
Everybody must take precautions in the upcoming holiday season, till the vaccine is rolled out. Travel will increase the chances for the spread of COVID-19. The easiest way to protect yourself and others this year is to avoid travel and stay home.
