My family and I will definitely take the needed precautions because of COVID-19, this holiday season.

We will incorporate traditions instilled through-out our family’s generations. We will celebration of Christ’s Birth, with family, food and gift giving, even amid COVID-19.

Some things that we will miss this year, as a family, because of COVID-19 are going out shopping, dining and mingling amongst people. My mother always says in the presence of God there is the fullness of joy! This Christmas my mother and I are most thankful for the health and strength of our family and the Spiritual mindset we choose to have! As my mother would say every time, you look up; you going to see me winning, even during adversity, turmoil, and chaos!

My mother and I would like to let other mothers and daughters know, to have an attitude of gratitude, be happy regardless of your situation, whether it is Christmas, COVID-19, or just another day of the week! Life is full of changes and challenges. This is just another part of our process.

May God’s blessings be upon you and yours this Christmas and every day thereafter! It is our sincerest prayer that God fills your holiday season with His blessings! Because the Best Is yet to come. Blessings. Merry Christmas

Angela and her mother Ruby
