The traditional fun things that many people do for Christmas seem to be taking a back seat this year, as many officials are urging people to stay home and not travel.

On top of that, some officials are limiting the amount of people allowed in people's homes.

Some governors are saying that there can be no more than 10 people in a home for any holiday gatherings at this point in time.

It's hard to get in the spirit of the holidays with a pandemic on everyone's mind.
