Hanukkah, Christmas, Diwali, Holi, New Year s, Thanksgiving, Easter − these are all holidays that are celebrated and times that we enjoy with our families. We think of these times as having lots of laughter, joy, hugs, family gatherings and hope to reminisce upon the memories for years and generations to come! But, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we celebrate holidays. Take us, for example; we have not seen our family in Texas in more than a year because of the pandemic. We have missed out on celebrating these holidays with loved ones and meeting new additions to our family. Not seeing loved ones in person has added more stress on top of the stress that already comes with the holidays. And, for those who have been able to gather with family, the stress of how to interact with them during this pandemic (i.e., do we hug, sit close to them, hold a new baby, etc.) has weighed heavily on everyone s minds.
