As Christmas is approaching, students and Melissa staff members prepare for what to expect. Not only are COVID-19 cases rising, but many people are not taking precautions.
Students and staff members must remember to keep their distance and do what they can to protect themselves and others around them.

Because December is the biggest shopping month of the year, many stores are doing their best to ensure safety with good prices. You do not have to try and rush to the stores worried to get the best deals and try to be alert about the virus at the same time. Many stores including Target, Kohls, Walmart, Ulta, Amazon and many more have decided to extend the “Black Friday Deals” until Christmas day.

These extended deals will allow many to feel relieved and safe about shopping during the pandemic. Although this is a different way people can shop for their gifts, it is recommended that you start shopping early, because many people are having to go to an online shop, which results in slow delivery and easier for complications to erupt.

If you are not sure what to get friends and family this holiday season or not prepared to start shopping with person-to-person interaction, here are some great stores to find the best gifts: Christmas Sales & Coupons 2020 on Gifts, Clothing & More.
