For at least 90% of you, this holiday season will be different — scaled down, shut up at home, and broadcast over Zoom — due to the pandemic.

According to a recent survey of 2,184 ADDitude readers, almost no one is celebrating this season as they normally would. New grandbabies won’t be bounced on knees, cousins won’t play touch football, far-flung adult kids won’t risk the travel home, stockings won’t be stuffed.

And though nearly all of you are sad and disappointed, you also insist that it is the right and safest thing to do. For some of you, this means a small celebration with your nuclear family — kids climbing the walls, parents scrambling to make the season feel special, and less money for gifts. (Nearly 12% of ADDitude readers have.

The Day I Realized Chronic Illness Means My Life Is Not My Own
Every child wants to grow up and be able to what they want, when they want. And for me, once I got my license at 16, I just knew I could bust the world wide open. And when I went to college, I felt as though I could do even more, that nothing in this world would stop me. Well, all of that was true and between the ages of 16 and 25, I truly was living my best life. I would get up and go wherever I wanted, do what I wanted, just live life and have so much fun. And I wholeheartedly embraced life until one fateful day at 28, when I began to feel some of the worst pain in my life. And even then, I decided I had to push through in order to maintain some sort of normalcy in my life.

3 Reasons Why 'Christmas Ever After' Is Important for Disability Representation
As Christmas is right around the corner, I, like many people, have been getting festive by watching all the classic films like “Love Actually,” “The Holiday” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (or simply “The Grinch”).
