NEW YORK (Reuters) - It's more than 10 months until Christmas, but as the global coronavirus pandemic takes hold in the United States, Margaret Haskell put out a call on her community Facebook group in New Jersey for people to hang their outdoor holiday lights back up.
"We are all finding new ways to virtually connect but many of us can't shake the feeling of isolation and loneliness," Haskell, 37, from South Orange, told Reuters. "My thought was that this would be a way to let each other know that we are still here, that life is still going on inside our houses."
