One of the most special days people impatiently wait for every year is Christmas, because it’s when they get to bond with their families, they also get to buy new things like clothes. People don’t only celebrate Christmas by going out or partying, they also reconnect spiritually as they are given another chance with the birth of Jesus Christ.

Christmas holds many memories that are cherished, for example, decorating, shopping, going out, mouth-watering meals with the whole family, church services, drinking and dancing till late in the night, and so many other activities.

But have you ever thought about an unusual Christmas? Have you ever imagined Christmas without concerts or any other gatherings? I bet not, because we never thought that a pandemic would sneak into our lives. But ask yourself, what is more important, life or a desire for fun? I’m sure life always comes first because we only live once, and there will be many other opportunities to celebrate.

Even though the entire world was shaken by the pandemic, it doesn’t mean that people have to stay locked up in their homes, or not celebrate Christmas, it only means that we have to be careful. There are many measures enforced by the government, like wearing face masks and going out when necessary, that’s what we should do to get through this Christmas season safely.

During this pandemic we can celebrate Christmas with our loved ones at home, we can decorate the Christmas tree together as a family. Having many people around doesn’t make Christmas a blast, it’s about what you do as a family. The pandemic should not be a reason to feel sad about Christmas. We only need to be more cautious.

We have to learn from experience. Many people have lost their loved ones who died because of the pandemic, and no one would want to go through that grief again, especially now that the year is ending and we are looking forward to what we will accomplish in the coming year.
