How Goa crib-hopped in smaller numbers in 2020, but without losing its spirit and thrust on social dialogue

How Goa crib-hopped in smaller numbers in 2020, but without losing its spirit and thrust on social dialogue
Across the state, people came together to create life-size Nativity scenes in cribs that were often themed on social issues. In the pandemic, the number of crib-hoppers may have reduced, but the sentiment remained unchanged.

A crib in Goa. All images procured by the author.
The hill plays the perfect backdrop. Down its side cascades a waterfall in cloth, leading to a green pasture. The grass is real, the sheep are cotton clouds, like cartoon characters with round eyes. Over boulders and scraggy rocks are mud huts and castles with little pathways; round the bend is a life-size carpentry workshop with women busy at work. At the end of the tableau is a crowded manger with a hen laying eggs, and two figures looking over a new-born baby. From outside, flutes of carols stream in.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas are known to be avid pet lovers and what better than their social media timelines to prove the same! Both of them are the proud owners of not one but three pet dogs namely Diana, Gino, and Panda. The best part is that the furry friends often accompany the two actors to their workplaces. For instance, Priyanka took Diana with her when she went to Germany a few months ago for her shooting schedule.

Putting Mary at the centre of Christmas is a challenge to South Africa's prosperity gospel

Seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child is wonderful thing. The Christmas story has angels and special stars; kings who bring lavish gifts; donkeys, shepherds with their sheep; and of course a young couple who rejoice at the birth of their first baby – a boy named Jesus.
This story has for centuries been told throughout the world at Christmas. For many people it is a story of good news, faith, hope, and joy.
However, this childlike understanding of the story has little to do with history. The actual narrative of Christmas is far more revolutionary and liberating. Read in this way, the story calls into question some of the patriarchal and consumerist aspects of many contemporary African Christian beliefs.

Coronavirus Chicago: Bronzeville families safely keep kids busy on Christmas 2020 break

The isolation can be even more exaggerated for millennials on their own now living alone.
"While we want to protect ourselves against COVID, we also want to make sure the kids have a normal social experience that they get fresh air every day because we know how important it is," said Mercedes Carnethon, an epidemiologist with Northwestern University.
Carnethon is among the parents coordinating the outdoor play.
"Some of those winter activities that can be done safely with a mask on present us with an opportunity to revisit some of the social activities and fun we like to have year-round," she said.
