Editor’s Note: It’s the time of year when you stay inside, you bake cookies and treats that make you feel cozy (and gain weight), and you do crafts since you’re not going into work. Are we talking about Christmas? No. We’re talking about COVID-time, and Stewart Peck wrote a new holiday tune just for 2020. Oh wait….it’s 2021, and the song is still relevant. So don’t warm up (seriously, no getting fevers), but get all the warm feelings this holiday season and with Peck’s “Twelve Days of COVID.” Stay safe everyone and happy holidays!
