A COVID Christmas: How Canadians Are Celebrating
Strict social distancing orders have led some families to invite no one home for Christmas, while some are meeting online, and still others are gathering in defiance of public orders.
Geraldine Boyer and her husband, residents of Saskatoon, would normally have a big gathering of 18 to 25 people, both family and friends, but not this year.
“This year it will be just the two of us,” Boyer said in an interview.
“Our in-city family are staying in their own homes, and our family in Calgary are staying there. We’re not going there either, the risk is just too great. Having said that, I’m still going to cook a small turkey and make it a regular Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.”
