Remix Your Holiday Traditions, Safely
The holiday season looks and feels different this year. For many of us, the traditional family gatherings and friendsgivings aren’t happening. We have to consider safety first, while navigating a raging pandemic. But that doesn’t mean we have to give up tradition altogether. As ZORA contributing writer Nneka Okona reminds us, “living during a pandemic has stretched most of us to reimagine how we connect with those we love.” She suggests that we remix traditions and get inventive.
“Tap into that same creative will to think about how you can make the holidays special and safe. Amaris Acosta, a writer from New York, is doing the holidays differently with her family. Instead of sharing a meal together, they’re doing a drive-by potluck — where everyone portions off their cooked contribution to dinner in separate aluminum pans and swap.”
Read on, as Okona provides more thorough and thoughtful holiday tips for those still considering traveling this week (and next month). A big reminder: Get tested early and often, and isolate.
