The year gone by has been like no other and Covid was the reason

We must do our best not to let it dampen our spirits for this Holiday season

Trees will be adorned with ornaments, tinsel and lights

While decorations will line city streets creating such a picturesque sigh

Yes, the Holidays will seem different due to so many restrictions

Staying positive, merry, and bright should be our Christmas-time convictions

A gift welcomed by all would be the often discussed vaccine

And how good would it feel to finally stop thinking about the need to quarantine

Children are concerned, “Will Santa be able to visit this year?” they will ask

You can assure them that he will be there and he’ll be wearing a mask

For many, travel plans may be canceled due to restrictions in place

The disappointment is there, but please try to keep a smile on your face

“..Virtual” get-togethers aren’t the greatest, but they are a means to an end

They are a way to share your Holiday-spirit and love with family and friends

Though it may not be easy, enjoy the Holidays and have some fun

Merry Christmas to all and have a Safe, Healthy, and Happy 2021.
