How to stay safe this holiday season in the Covid-19 pandemic

Experts warn against holiday meals inside. Here's why. 02:27 (CNN)CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen is the cook in the family, and her husband is the baker, so they're already trying out recipes for rib-eye roast, green bean casserole and gingerbread cupcakes for their holiday celebrations. Their 3-year-old is painting ornaments and will help his parents to decorate the family Christmas tree. He's also designing a Christmas stocking for himself and for his 8-month-old baby sister. They're already doing virtual game nights with her sister who lives in Seattle (the current favorite is Catan). On Christmas Eve, they'll continue the family tradition of Christmas carols, with Wen playing the piano and the two families singing together via Zoom, followed by remote religious services on Christmas Day.

VALERIE SCHULTZ: It's a Zoom life

Tom Bernard: You've got this, North Adams | Columnists

The holidays are a season of joy and celebration in the City of North Adams, as they are in communities across the Berkshires and throughout Massachusetts. This is a time when many traditions and cultures celebrate, find and make meaning by gathering together. It is a season when many people look forward to parties with family and friends, to worship with our faith communities, to the giving and receiving of gifts, and to quiet time to recharge, reflect and relax. One of my family’s cherished Polish Catholic Christmas traditions involves oplatek. We share good wishes, blessings, thanks, encouragement and even a few tears with loved ones while breaking pieces of a wafer similar to a Communion host. This is something I have done since childhood, and just thinking about it takes me back to the crowded, chaotic, noisy, wonderful Christmas Eve dinners at my grandparents’ house. Participating in this ritual also keeps my extended family connected across time and distance, knowing we are joined with those who came before us and with the generations who will follow us.

How to safely make it through the holiday season in the Covid-19 pandemic

From Blossoms to Robbie Williams: the best new Christmas songs of 2020

For obvious reasons (see: these unprecedented times) Christmas this year is going to be a bit weird – but if there’s one semblance of normality to count on, it’s the likelihood of a good old fashioned festive feud. As with its close relative ‘organised fun’, the annual ‘season of goodwill’ has a tendency to crack in dramatic fashion – meaning that even in 2020 we can depend upon somebody in the family support bubble getting far too sloshed on mulled wine and pulling out the plug mid- Eastenders Christmas special, prompting a blazing row. And Carly Rae Jepsen knows this all too well.

Revealed: What the City is doing in place of the classic office Christmas party this year

T he pandemic has put paid to the traditional office Christmas party - that annual workplace event beloved and loathed in equal measure. We wondered what City firms and bosses at companies across London were planning to do in its stead. It turned out that what has replaced a uniform drinks-followed-by-more-drinks pattern is far more diverse. We found companies opting for everything from Zoom parties featuring celebrity cameos and virtual carol services led by Robbie Williams, to virtual wine-tasting and baking sessions with cocktails delivered to employees’ homes, and the abandonment of any group activity whatsoever in favour of subscriptions to mental health support apps.

A difficult and challenging year we may want to forget

No one would argue it has not been a difficult and challenging year for most people and businesses
