It is the year 2020, and it’s someone’s birthday somewhere, simultaneously, it’s  the holiday season for everyone (for me, both at once) see my first birthday away from home. Undoubtedly, it is supposed to be the happiest day/time of the year for most people.  Moreover, it is the time of year when families and friends get together to celebrate, reconnect, or hang out.  For many others, it is the time of year to escape on a much-needed vacation they have saved for all year.  However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has proven itself to be a challenge.  Sadly, it’s a total bummer when it comes to socialising, partying or celebrating any special occasion.  Nevertheless, I will share with you ways to enjoy birthdays and the holidays despite COVID-19.
