I love this idea. A movement has started on social media to pull your Christmas lights back out, put them back up, and shine them at night as a sign of hope during this Coronavirus pandemic which is impacting the entire world.

I'm putting mine up when I get home this evening! The thought is they won't just bring hope but it also provides another socially-safe activity - going for a ride with the family to see all the lights. A Twitter user says "Plus, it's a great distraction for kids who are not at school."
