For decades, Betty Montoya’s house in Santa Fe was full of people, music, food and love on Christmas Day. Family members, in-laws, in-laws of in-laws and others would gather for a celebratory feast and music fest, with folk songs, holiday tunes and, of course, “ Feliz Navidad.” Often, the group would number 100 or more. “It’s maddening,” said Montoya, a native Santa Fean and retired teacher. “Some of them would end up on the patio where we had an outdoor fireplace.” But not this year. Montoya and her family are splintering into small groups for the holiday — wearing masks, maintaining social distancing and doing everything they can to stay safe.
