‘Sign of hope and happiness’: People putting their Christmas lights back up to help deal with virus outbreak

Christmas is more than two months past, but social media users are digging their lights and decorations back out (or plugging them back in) as a sign of hope during the coronavirus outbreak.

As people across the country are working from home or are under quarantine or lock-down, many have taken to Twitter to share photos of their Christmas lights and to ask others to jump on the bandwagon.

One user wrote: “Christmas lights give me hope and joy. Every year, I look forward to seeing them put up. As a sign of hope and happiness, we’ve put some up. While we’re all having to stay in and away from each other, I thought these would help us all have something joyous and pretty to look at.”

I suspect you’ll be getting a phone call.
A ‘very urgent’ one indeed.

“People are complaining about your lights.”

Same kind of people who put teddy bears, and candles, and Flores and cards at the site of someone who gets brutally murdered.

My elderly neighbors put a folding card table in their yard loaded with games from their game closet with a FREE sign. All the games found new homes by the end of the day. There were many kids thanking them. What a great idea.
