Holidays are often celebrated with family and friends but now that there is still a pandemic to consider, it is important to compromise and follow the protective measures. Instead of risking our lives for the purpose of celebration, there are still other ways to express our love to our family and friends. Holidays are still happening but we have to sacrifice to stay safe and healthy.
In order to make a difference this holiday season in simple ways, I just have to stay indoors and enjoy this season with my family. This way, it is not only me and my family will be safe from the virus and diseases but other people as well. Also, with the use of the technology today, I can just plan a virtual party with my family and friends rather than asking them to go out. There are a lot of things to do online, we just need to be creative and make use of what we have.
This year, since I have more time to spend with my family, I will make sure to bond, keep up with them, and just simply be happy. Now that I have the time, I need to go for it and spend it wisely with the people I love since there is not a lot of chances that everyone is available.
Considering my friends, I would make sure to check on them and communicate with them during this time. Although we cannot meet and give presents personally, I think it is just as important as checking on them and making sure that they are coping with the situation that we’re into.
Then, if someone is planning to give presents and also planning to buy online, I will suggest to purchase from local stores and small businesses instead or maybe consider DIY gifts. If I have the chance, I would also like to give to people who are in need but until then, I would continue to support people who do those things not only this season.
This year has been different for everyone yet it is certainly the season of sharing and a great opportunity to reach out to people. May it be your family, friends and even those who are in need and vulnerable.
There may be a pandemic and I have stay at home during holiday season, but I will still make sure to keep the holidays memorable and special in my own way. After all, a small sacrifice today may lead to a brighter and much better tomorrow. Also, it is for sure that there are a lot of ways to make the most out of what I have to express my love for my family and friends. Finally, I just hope that we can all stay warm and safe this holiday season.
