CHRISTMAS 2020





Christmas 2020 will be completely different from all previous years because of the pandemic.  Due to travel and social gathering restrictions, this will be a lonely Christmas away from friends and extended family. A day that will be remembered with awe.

 

However, we must keep up the Christmas spirit, by offering presents, decorating our houses and preparing Christmas delicacies for our beloved families, indicating that we shall not be vanquished by this deadly disease.  We must, however, be careful, wearing masks, keeping distances, staying at home with patience and persistence, while missing playing bridge or tennis with our friends.  

 

We are justifiably hopeful that 2021 will be much better, healthwise, than this year.  Apparently, the vaccine against COVID-19 will be possible for the wider public, much earlier than previously believed, thus saving the world from the fatal virus.



 With nostalgic memories of my early Christmases so many years ago:

           Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

           Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

           The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

           In hopes that Saint Nicolas soon will be there

           The children have nestled all snug in their beds

           While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads ....
