Holidays

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, a handful of DMV churches and other community groups are making efforts to provide for their community and ensure that as many people as possible have a meal on Turkey Day.

With the pandemic continuing to rage on, many people across the country and in the DMV have given online shopping even more popularity.

With the one-two punch of the holiday season and stricter precautions against COVID-19 returning, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is calling on local governments in his state to step up safety inspections for retail businesses.

Despite the angst surrounding the growing number of coronavirus cases nationwide and the ongoing upheaval over President Trump's refusal to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden, there will still be a turkey pardon at the White House next week.

The COVID-19 era has accelerated Americans’ gradual move toward online shopping – but for some, the holidays aren’t the same without hitting the shops.

This holiday season will look a little different than years past, and some traditions may get altered, including the highly anticipated trip to see Santa. With COVID-19 restrictions in place, a visit with Santa will include more social distancing and mask-wearing than normal. 

The annual event honors the memory of fallen soldiers and is scheduled for December 19

Officials announced Monday that the Wreaths Across America event at Arlington National Cemetery and the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home Cemetery next month will be canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
