Christmas Time in 2020
It's the middle of our Oaks Christian Middle School break, which started on the 16th of December and would end on the 6th of January. Our family Dows the usual things during Christmas. Setting up a pine tree, placing ornaments of different shapes and sizes onto said tree, and setting up a chain flights to hang on the branches of the tree. Then our parents buy several gifts, such as video games, LEGO sets which you are able to build with small pieces by following a manual, and anything else that would interest the recipients. They would then rap the presents in either bags if they are lazy, or special rapping paper if they want to put effort into the gift. On the 24th (Christmas Day), we would open the gifts and have a cheerful Christmas with the family. At least that's how it always was before COVID-19... Nowadays, roughly the same thing occurs, but everything arrives much later, everything is done much slower, and there are a lot more coughs instead of conversations. There was no mass gathering, either. Everyone just stayed in their own homes to do it on their own or with anyone who lives with them. It felt eerier than usual, but everyone wished of 2021 not becoming 2020 part 2... -

The Spooky Slide
My parents run trick-or-treating at our door. In usual years, they have a large tub of candy and the rule is you can have as much candy as you can grab with one hand. It has been pretty successful in the past, but was impossible this year. What they decided to do was go to Home Depot and construct a chute where they would send bags of candy to people from 6 feet away. Less people came, but the ones who did were impressed. -

Making Halloween Ornaments
Since we can't go out and celebrate Halloween this year, we made Halloween ornaments to make October feel a little more festive. We worked on them throughout October so they would be done by Halloween, that way we could display them. Each one is cross-stitch done of perforated paper and doing one took about a week. My mom and I each did one and my older sister did two -

Meanwhile in Ohio
Scrolling through Facebook I came across this on my feed. A home in Ohio has been decorated for Halloween COVID style. I thought this was a hilarious way to showcase how COVID has affected every aspect of our lives. I love seeing the humor during this time when we need it most. It looks like the biggest and scariest skeleton is playing dodgeball with COVID balls. I’m not sure which skeleton I loved most, the one with the Lysol or the one with the toilet paper. -

At Home Graduation
A plethora of graduation decorations I acquired in order to celebrate my husband's canceled college graduation from home. Being the first in his family to graduate from college deserved to be celebrated, even if in our own backyard. -

Loch-Ness Sousaphone March
This gentleman has been sighted a few times marching around Watertown, MA. He first passed my window on April 2nd and he returned on April 22nd. At first I thought that his sousaphone was decorated to be a dragon, but I later learned from a NBC Boston News story that it is a Loch Ness Monster. He plays songs like "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I was delighted to see him and told everyone I know about his one-man parade. It truly felt like something out of the TV show M*A*S*H.
