The Christmas saying of “there’s no place like home for the holidays” rings especially true this year. With the coronavirus pandemic still lingering on the horizon, many families have opted to celebrate individually as opposed to gathering in large traditional groups.
The holidays can feel heavy if you’re not able to get into the spirit of things, and even more so when you can’t spend time with the people you love. However, if you find yourself in this situation alone or with your family, have no fear!
