People are putting up Christmas lights during coronavirus pandemic
It may not be Christmas in mid-March, but some people are trying to use some of that joy to lift the spirits of those around them, as the danger of the coronavirus becomes more apparent.
Would these baubles boot you off the “nice” list?
In an apparent sign of the times, certain coronavirus-related Christmas ornaments have sold out online from a classic yuletide shop.
Old World Christmas touts itself as the nation’s “premier brand of Christmas ornaments,” and releases about 150 new glass designs each year, according to a product page. Though the Christmas season is months away, Yahoo Lifestyle recently spotted that a few pandemic-related baubles are already listed as sold out online.

Ahead of the holidays, and amid an uncertain future as the pandemic continues, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised Americans to keep traditional Thanksgiving gatherings small in the fight against COVID-19.
“Thanksgiving is a time when many families travel long distances to celebrate together. Travel increases the chance of getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19," the CDC said in a recent update. "Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others. If you must travel, be informed of the risks involved."
