People are Putting up Christmas Lights
to Spread Cheer Amidst COVID-19 Crisis
There’s a movement afoot online and in communities to create a kind of Christmas in March vibe
By Lindsay William-Ross, March 19, 2020
Spring has arrived here in Vancouver, and the cherry blossoms are erupting riotously, their pink and white canopies of blossoms bobbing in gentle breezes against the backdrop of blue skies. Daffodils are pushing up. Heavy coats and extra layers are left hanging in our closets.
But it’s not a normal spring. Most of us are bunkered down in our homes day and night these days, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Those who venture out are doing so to head to jobs they can’t do at home, or to run essential errands, all while practicing social distancing (we hope).
By day, we can walk around to get some fresh air and appreciate the long-awaited official arrival of spring.
And yet, there’s a movement afoot in the U.S., and now here in Canada, to have a kind of Christmas in March.
