Every year at Christmas time, my family spends a LOT of time together and we have parties and spend time with friends. This year was a lot different though, parties were cancelled, masks were worn, things were shut down. Two parties were planned with groups of my friends, both were sadly cancelled and replaced to be on zoom. The first party hosted by Tanner was set up to be on zoom on Friday December 18, 2020. We opened gifts dropped off by Secret Santa and watched our favorite Christmas movie, Elf. The second party hosted by Sophia with all girls was on Monday December 21, 2020. We opened gifts and played around with different zoom backgrounds. When Christmas Eve rolled around, my family went to church like we always do, but this time we had to wear masks the entire time with rows in between each family. On Christmas day we did the same as always, open presents then have brunch with my family. It was different but a very fun time.
