This year’s Christmas seems to be more deserted than in previous years.
After the epidemic was lifted, the "sheep" were all at home, there were fewer people on the streets, and there was less of a festive atmosphere.
Many friends who are not yet "positive" are afraid to go out. Just like the food girls, they wanted to go out for a Christmas dinner, but in order to avoid infection, they decided not to join in the fun.
In fact, we can make delicious Christmas dinner at home and show off our skills to our family.
