Advisory. This will be the first Christmas celebrated under the new normal. Christmas has always been a festival of hugs and togetherness. Yet we must keep distance from each other, we cannot hug or even shake hands for fear of contracting or spreading coronavirus.

To an onlooker, the September nuptials of Faridah and Derrick at a hotel in Kampala, the capital of God-fearing Uganda, looked like any other wedding.
