What would this dumpster fire of a year be without a smoldering ruin of a Christmas to go out on?
No Nutcracker. No Radio City. No sitting in Santa s lap. For many of us, no visiting with friends or relatives.
Whatever we consider a normal Christmas, this won t be it. But then, an abnormal Christmas is nothing new.
People have been celebrating Christmas under daunting circumstances, in odd places, ever since the holiday began.
Not, let us remind you, in a Thomas Kinkade living room with a glowing tree and a fireplace, but in a stable outside a motel.
So in honor of Christmas 2020 God bless it here are some other hard-luck holidays.
