This year holiday shopping is mostly virtual. Stores and malls are closed or limit hours or numbers of shoppers. No big gatherings of friends or family - just a very different holiday season.
Here's my take on a favorite holiday tune!

Joan Reconsiders the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It’s the most wonderful time of the year,
But there’s no jingle-belling,
And who can be telling us words of good cheer,
As in past wonderful times of the year!
It’s the most worrisome time of the year!
Can we be celebrating,
if we’re also hating and living in fear?
At this most feverish time of the year!
It’s the most pitiful time of the year.
When we all should be shopping,
Until we are dropping, at malls far and near.
It’s the most frustrating season, that’s clear!
It’s the most blunderful time of the year.
Our leaders have failed us,
A dire ill ails us, and leaves us in fear!
At this most dangerous time of the year!

With apologies to Edward Pola and George Wyle whose 1963 classic I have borrowed here!
