,,A ,,DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS” that of 2020: the most important and awaited anniversary of the year will no longer be the same as all the other times. COVID-19 is leaving a void in our hearts that is difficult to fill for many reasons and things that are part of our lives such as health, work, loved ones, habits, traditions, anniversaries …
However, despite the restrictions, the distance, the sacrifices, we must not lose hope of returning to “normalcy” soon and an unusual tree called the “TREE OF HOPE” is meant to be a symbol of trust, solidarity and hope for all of us.” Marisa Mola
