I open the envelope to find a beautiful hand made Christmas card. I’m too shocked to say anything before he’s gone. He hands me the envelope and jogs off towards another family. Young man: hi, I don’t mean to disturb you but my names Ethan and I’m spreading a little holiday cheer. We’re having lunch when a young man in his early 20’s walks up to us with a envelope in his hands.
Both my husband and I have been unemployed since the start of the health crisis and are just managing to pay our bills with nothing left to celebrate the holidays. It’s been a tough a year due to the pandemic. It is a week before Christmas 2020, I am at a children’s playground with my 3 kids, 4, 2 and 7 months.
