Zoom for the Holidays

COVID-19 is putting a new spin on the old idea of heading home for the holidays.

The relentless spread of the virus that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, many of them seniors, is changing the way some people are approaching the holiday season. Families, friends, neighborhoods, churches, synagogues and other groups that normally would gather in celebration at this time of year find they must rethink some holiday traditions.

For many, 2020 may be the year to hunker down in place, to put on an ugly sweater with a mask that matches, and to seek new ways to stay in touch.
