Encourages Christmas lights
With COVID-19 in mind, I think it would be a great idea for Columbus homeowners and surrounding areas to light up the holiday nights with Christmas lights on their property. While we remain socially distanced, there’s nothing to prevent families from doing a drive by to see the twinkling lights. Just as we did with the teddy bears and stuffed animals so small children could discover them while out and walking, the lights are in like fashion. Merry Christmas, and I hope to see lots of lights.
