The economic upheaval caused by the pandemic is making this a very unusual holiday season.

Millions have lost jobs and face the imminent loss of federal unemployment benefits. For many, plans for travel and shopping outings have been upended because of health restrictions or financial hardship. For those with the opportunity to take on extra hours or seasonal work, there may be an incentive to do so.

How are you celebrating differently this year? What economic or personal choices have you had to make in observing the holidays? Are you cutting back on meals — or adjusting your charitable giving? We’d like to know about your situation and your plans.

We may reach out to you individually to chat some more about these questions, so please let us know if you’d be willing to share additional details with us.

We will not publish any part of your submission without contacting you first.
