Here we are, it's the end of the year. On December 31st, 2019, when the clock struck midnight and we all sang "Happy New Year!", we most definitely didn't expect this. It's been an incredibly difficult year for most of us: we lost friends and loved ones, we got sick, we spent almost 9 months at home, we didn't see our family and colleagues for a very long time. But we survived, this is the most important thing. We fought through one of the most challenging times in modern history. There was no war, but there was a pandemic that changed our normal lives.
When this new year began, we were hopeful, we thought 2020 is going to be the best, and we were so optimistic about our future. Then, almost in an instant, everything changed when the pandemic was declared and the state of emergency was imposed in almost every country. Nobody, not even futurologists or mediums, could predict this outcome. However, as always, we had to adapt and make the most out of what we have. We worked from home, we started to wear a mask, and we learned new concepts such as "social distancing" or "thermal scanning".
However, 2020 was COVID's year, not Grinch's year. Therefore, nobody can steal Christmas from us! Even though we no longer have the traditional fairs or concerts, and we can't invite or visit all our friends and relatives, it will still be a very special end of the year. Christmas is a state of mind and it depends on each of us how we celebrate it. And, because you made it through the ordeal, you deserve to smile and be happy, while hoping that next year will turn out how you want it. Here are some special lyrics for you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
No matter where you are from,
Come join us and sing along
Cause it's Christmas time,
The best time of the year!
Everybody from far and near,
Sing it loud and clear,
One happy family,
This world needs peace and harmony!
Look at the stars tonight,
See how they shine so bright,
Telling us everything is gonna be alright!
Cause it's Christmas wherever you are,
Smiling faces everywhere, feel the magic in the air,
Cause it's Christmas, it never gets old,
Put a smile upon your face and let me feel that sweet embrace!
Let's come together and join the party,
Around the world in every country,
Don't be afraid,
There's love for everyone!
Let's make it last throughout the year,
Just take my hand and have no fear,
We will unite the human race
And make this world a better place!
Look at the stars tonight,
See how they shine so bright,
Telling us everything is gonna be alright!
Cause it's Christmas wherever you are,
Smiling faces everywhere, feel the magic in the air,
Cause it's Christmas, it never gets old,
Put a smile upon your face and let me feel that sweet embrace!
