The Christmas Holiday is one of the most important dates of the Christian calendar and remains one of the most popular holidays in our country Haiti and the rest of the world. We are not sure that we have the power to save Christmas again this year, since we are facing a more and more challenging and dangerous lack of safety. The pandemic rules and can spoil the holidays. Are we going to the end to save the Christmas holidays from the gloominess that can cause Covid 19?

We are not sure if extended family members will have to show their vaccination card, to be invited to the Christmas dinner. Some will prefer to wear their mask during the Christmas feast so that they will not scare the ones who don’t want to be contaminated. First and foremost, they will have to enjoy great food without wearing the mask. The young ones will not be allowed to hug their aunts and cousins, whom they see very rarely because they live at the other end of the country. They will not receive gifts from Santa Claus, who will not endure the pandemic because of his old age. But fortunately, the heads of the WHO reassured us that Santa Claus is immunized to Covid 19 and will be able to distribute gifts to the children of the whole world without difficulty.

When it comes to the midnight mass on December the 24th, it will be canceled in numerous countries. In the places where this important mass will be held, the number of believers allowed will be limited and they will have to apply in advance to attend mass. Once again, Pope Francis will have to celebrate the midnight mass at seven thirty in the evening, so that he respects the current curfew due the pandemic. Christmas will not be celebrated with splendor this year, as tradition requires. After all, according to Luke the evangelist, the child Jesus was born in a manger without great fanfare because Mary and Joseph did not find any space in the guest room.
