Every year, Elizabeth Gaule sends out a Christmas card featuring up to 10 photos—a highlight reel of trips she has taken and favorite moments—along with a letter to her loved ones highlighting the events of the past 12 months.
Around the July 4 weekend, it hit her: Nothing had really happened since January, because of the pandemic. Right then she started drafting a card to sum up her 2020, through the online marketplace Minted. The greeting on the front included the message: “Really glad that’s over.” “I had thought that it would be safer than it ended up being,” says Ms. Gaule, 26, who works as a media strategist.
Holiday cards tend to involve choosing a family photo—ideally one taken with some fallen leaves nearby or in front of the fireplace with some festive sweaters. You might include a note mentioning significant life changes, such as a baby, a wedding or a new address. Things look a little different this year, of course, and people are struggling with how exactly to approach this once-benign tradition: Do we embrace the coronavirus theme, masks and all? Perhaps it’s better to pretend nothing has happened and proceed with those beach photos from last summer—but with a brief mention that everyone drove.

One wonders a nation with such a corrupt news media (NYT, WaPo, Time, CNN, PBS, etc) in concert with big tech oligarchs can survive as a democratic republic. It is worse than Russian Pravda. All journalistic standards have been abandoned and demeaned to the point of obliteration.
