Merry Christmas 2020

This Christmas I was lucky enough to spend with my family. I do not have any extended family so it was not hard for us to get together. One tradition that was affected by covid was that every year since I was very young, I have always gone to my best friend’s house for Christmas Eve. This year due to Covid my friend’s family decided to move away. They wanted to have less contact with the Coronavirus and they felt it would be safer to move. On Christmas and Christmas Eve I was not able to attend the mass at the church. This year we had to attend mass virtually. It was very different from what I am used to. I am used to seeing the alter and walking up to it to receive the Eucharist.
