HOLIDAY TRADITIONS DURING THE PANDEMIC
Decorating the house, inside and out, baking, creating and gifting  make our days bright. Send in your holiday ideas and photos. Member, Mary Lew Sponksi, shared a new tradition for the pandemic - In our family Christmas stockings filled with multiple small items [all of which are wrapped individually!] are the highlight. As we will not gather together this year, I have filled individual boxes, instead of stockings, and mailed them to all family members. On Christmas Day, we will gather on Zoom and everyone will open their Christmas Boxes together.
