Non sarà un Natale come tutti gli altri. Il Covid ha costretto il mondo intero a escogitare modi alternativi per festeggiare la nascita di Gesù. Sarà un Natale sobrio, per riscoprire il significato più profondo di questo giorno. Per stare con la propria famiglia ristretta, con l’aiuto della tecnologia o meno, e per stare anche un po’ con se stessi e riscoprirsi. Con il pensiero sempre rivolto a chi ci ha lasciati, portato via dalla pandemia, a chi lotta per la propria vita negli ospedali e a chi li assiste e cura con professionalità, buon Natale.
