To the editor: As I hunker down in total isolation, I have a suggestion for all those who are (like myself) chafing at not being able to be with family for Christmas this year. (“Dire COVID warnings go unheeded as many insist on Christmas traditions; officials fear new surge,” Dec. 22)
We have moved holidays around in the past; this year, we should move Christmas. I won’t be celebrating “Jewish Christmas” in a Chinese restaurant this year, visiting my grandkids or attending my nieces’ annual Christmas brunch.
I suggest we all look to June 25 and celebrate Jesus’ half-birthday. By then, hopefully, most of us will be vaccinated, hospitals will resume normal operations, stores will be open, and we will truly have a reason to celebrate.
