Merry Christmas to You!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
Love, from our family!
This year, my husband and I cancelled our trip to be with my daughter’s beautiful family. I know this social distancing is a temporary condition.
The State of California is in a worse than ever situation at the present. Many hospitals ran out of ICU beds. The news on Saturday, December 19, said that if someone had an accident or heart attack, the hospitals may not treat them because there were no rooms in the ER. Many families will suffer the losses of their loved ones to this horrible disease. We remember them in our thoughts and prayers.
The United States on Monday, December 14 administered the first shots of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine to health-care workers, marking a pivotal moment in the country’s long march to bring the virus under control. Initial shipments of the second vaccine Moderna authorized in the U.S. left a distribution center Sunday, December 20 and the first shots were administered on Monday, December 21. About 20 million of people in the US will receive vaccination by the end of the year. Combining the two vaccines, there will be 400 million shots for 200 million people available by the end of July 2021. Help is on the way!
We look forward to a better, healthier, brighter, and shiner 2021!
Here are two more of my favorite Christmas music.

It is very scary to see the cases in California rising as such exponential rates. Your Christmas photos a great! Love the music from the Messiah!

Yes, it is still very scary, Dwight. I don’t understand why people don’t take it serious. Of course, the population is more dense in many cities in California, but no more than Taiwan or Hong Kong. The news said Taiwan never had a shut down.

That is very amazing. I guess their disconnect with mainland China may have helped them.?

Huge hugs to you, Miriam, with all of the challenges and restrictions. My husband and I did everything virtually this holiday season. I have tons of blurry screen shots. As one of my daughters said, our connections were still filled with a great deal of love. And, yes, wishing for a “….brighter and shiner 2021.” I LOVE the family photos.xx

We did the same, Erica. We had virtual celebration of the holidays with my daughter, my family in Hong Kong, and my husband’s family locally. Just wanted to get the connections.
The vaccines are out on a bumpy road. I have to be patient and get virtual encouragements to ride out the storm.
Let’s build on to our hopes 😉💞
