Tough Covid restrictions last Christmas upended our usual holiday plans. We were forced to seek joy and comfort in new traditions from handmade gifts to a Christmas Day run. 

The lockdown Christmas traditions being kept in 2021 and beyond

“I found joy in making Christmas gifts” 

As hard as it was not seeing family, I had the chance to create my own traditions

“I started running on Christmas morning” 

I loved the feeling of saying ‘Merry Christmas’ to people who were there running alone or with family and friends

“We spread festive cheer by making Christmas lip-sync videos”  

 It felt good knowing that our videos were cheering people up during a depressing lockdown

“We got to know our neighbours by toasting marshmallows in the garden” 

We wouldn’t have done anything like this if it weren’t for the pandemic but we’re really excited to make it a fun yearly tradition

“I started a Christmas toy project” 

I felt overwhelmed knowing we’d be putting a smile on the faces of 500 kids
