Annual Plans

 This week will end with Christmas next Saturday.  With the Coronavirus lots of plans are changed.  Lots of stores are closed on Christmas, unlike Yom Kippur or Ramadan.  But we are used to that.  The ski slopes are open if you can get to them.  One of the big changes that is virus related is the movie plan.  Lots of people, especially single or without family on that day, go to a movie, on Christmas afternoon or evening.  Hollywood puts out new blockbuster movies on Christmas Eve just for this occasion.  Christmas is a reminder that things are no longer the same.  But that was the origins of the event called Christmas.  Things were no longer going to be the same.  A new, unexpected, and unplanned event had happened in the world.  It took a virus to bring us to this same feeling.  I try to keep the original in mind.
