It does seem interesting how people are going to spend the holiday season, but like you said there are creative ways to get in contact with family members through very small gatherings outside or over zoom. With a lot of what you said, it was about the new ways families will be gathering, there is still a problem because many people are still flying (as is shown on the news) and risking other members of their family’s health just to be with them.

Molly, I love the writing style! This is very spot on and I agree with your take on this prompt. The way in which you approached this is wonderful I couldn’t agree more with you about the power that our words hold. The impact that our words can have are is often overlooked, as you pointed out, and that is very unfortunate.

Molly,
I liked how you connected this blog post to your previous one which allowed me to understand the context of both of your writings. I also liked how you involved empathy and the current pandemic because those two can be very well linked together and you used them appropriately. I really enjoyed reading what you had to say!
