Don't Let This Holiday Get You Down

                                    Don't Let This Holiday Get You Down

For most of us, the Holidays are a wonderful time of year. Some people get depressed during the Holidays. This year, because of the Virus, many more people will get sad if they let THIS Holiday get them down.

Before this year, every one of my Holidays were great fun. Seeing family and friends made me happy. We used to fly to DC to stay with our friends. They made Thanksgiving a party. Christmas was all about friends and fun gifts. However, that was then, this is now.

I don't know about you, but I'm not getting on an airplane any time soon. Almost everybody I know says they won't get on an airplane until this virus is controlled. We've been invited to Thanksgiving from two great friends, however, each is having school kids come to their house - that's a no-no for us seniors. Christmas and New Year will have to restricted to the people we know have been tested. 

This year sucks, but I refuse to let it make me sad. I have my best friend (my wife) to spend the Holidays with. We will be zooming with friends and family laughing at all the stories from now and the past. We will be giving gifts and getting gifts mostly from the mail. We are going to make these Holidays as fun as any other Holiday.

This is the new normal - for now. It won't be the new normal forever. This time next year we WILL be doing what we always did during the Holidays. Please accept what's happening for now. For your mental health; 

                 Don't Let This Holiday Get You Down.
