Just because there is a mandate to stay at home and always keep a safe distance from another doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate or have some fun. Since the start of the global pandemic, most of us created ways to stay in touch with our family and friends. Using different types of online group meeting platforms, we can make sure that we don’t miss out on checking up on loved ones. Online celebrations have become an essential part of our “new normal” lifestyle.
