A different kind of holiday

Under official orders from 10 counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, we must stay at home and private gatherings of any size are prohibited. This means that this Christmas we will not be able to go to our grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins, or close friends.

That does not mean that we are alone, and it is okay if Christmas is not celebrated this December 24 and 25, because we must give priority to personal care and extreme precautions. 

There are ways to celebrate from a distance. You can make a video call, or you can make a video and send it with love to all your family and friends; you can have a Christmas drive-thru and drop off packages for your loved ones.
