The coronavirus pandemic has shaken up the typical holiday card/family newsletter, with many improvising their own 2020 version, writes Ellie Silverman for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Liz Costa of Media wanted to introduce her daughter, Hallie, born July 28, to family and friends and offer joy in a dark year.

Her holiday card has daughter Hallie dressed like Cousin Eddie in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

“2020 has been extraordinarily hard. It felt dark, and heavy, and isolating,” said Costa, 34. “It’s important for all of us to find a way to seek out joy in any way possible.”

Kristin Everham sells hand-designed cards each holiday season on Etsy.

This year, she drew a dumpster on fire with the words “2020. It’s almost over.”

It was one of her most popular cards on her Etsy site, along with a card showing a cat sitting on a laptop with the words “Season’s Meetings.”

“It’s just a celebration that we’re finally through this awful hellscape of a year,” said Everham, 35, of Point Breeze.
