Holiday Greetings for 2020

Somehow, it just doesn't feel like the Holidays. The main blame falls on COVID but the lack of snow here contributes to it, also. I will be back in mid-January after a break of sorts. Meanwhile, enjoy the Season the best that you can.

Holiday greetings for 2020

Hang high the holly, decorate the tree,

cookies to bake, friends to see.

But experts warn, "Not so fast

with travel plans or parties this Season."

The reason? COVID, of course.

But music and merriment still fill the air,

and promised vaccines are about to appear.

So, here's hoping your Holidays

will be bright, your weeks full of cheer,

and "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus . . ."

since certain people will stay away this year.
