The holiday season in Polk County makes it clear that for many, the arts are an essential business. And they're worth saving. "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear," said Will Ferrell's character Buddy the Elf in in the 2003 hit comedy "Elf." But in 2020, singing loud "for all to hear" might be the best way to spread COVID-19, which is considerably less cheerful. And as cases continue to rise across Florida, this holiday season could quickly become dangerous. That doesn't mean you have to abandon your favorite, time-honored December traditions. Going to see "The Nutcracker" and enjoying the instrumental renditions of your favorite Christmas melodies are still possible this year, even if they look a little different.
