Spread Joy & Laughter, Not the Virus this Christmas

 

            

            This month we celebrate Christmas in the new normal way. I know we all want to go and visit our friends and family this Christmas season, but remember that the pandemic is still ongoing. We can still spread joy & laughter even if we are following safety protocols. By following safety protocols, you can enjoy Christmas this year as majority of the people now is fully vaccinated! But some people have lost their jobs because of the pandemic and now they don’t have stable income for their family. But not to worry, next Christmas will be a lot better because a lot of people will be vaccinated and we can enjoy Christmas worry free.

 

           

Christmas is a season we all love as it is the time of giving joy & laughter amidst the pandemic. But even if it is the Christmas season, the virus is still present and can cause another spike in cases if we are not following safety protocols while enjoying Christmas. Some of my family members are excited as my tita’s and tito’s are coming home this Christmas so that we can celebrate it again just like we did in before the pandemic happened. Even if I am happy this Christmas, I am sad at the same time because of the people who lost their jobs. If they lost their jobs, they cannot celebrate Christmas livelier. But because of the hardworking health workers and also the government who are administering vaccine throughout the country, we can safely enjoy Christmas next year as majority of the people will be vaccinated.

           

            In summary, just enjoy Christmas by spreading joy & laughter to your friends and family but also following safety protocols. Even if we are facing challenges this Christmas season, don’t give up just yet and wait for next year as it will be a better year! One last message to all of those reading this blog post, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D
