Many people have some type of tradition they do for the holidays.
It might be them getting the same pajamas for their family or having a big family dinner on Christmas Eve. Others many be they put up Christmas decorations as a family and then after watch a family movie and drink hot cocoa.
And on New Years Eve students may go to their family’s house to have a big dinner and watch the ball drop.
But things with this pandemic may be a little more different then some of the past years. You may have to wear a mask or nobody is able to watch the ball drop live at all to decrease the chances of spreading COVID-19.
