For most of us, 2020 has become more like ‘a year that was’. From lockdowns to curfews and stressful work from home scenarios, this year has left little to be desired. But as we enter the month of December, we start to see a glimmer of light at the end of that metaphorical tunnel.

While in the years pre-pandemic, December rang in the season of gifts, goodies, parties and Secret Santa. This year might be a little different. While the season is a monolith of spreading joy and happiness, it would seem like we could all use a little bit of that sprinkled into our own lives as well. So taking the lessons taught in 2020 of self-reliance and adapting to change, why not come to your rescue this Christmas and be your own Secret Santa with these virtual companions that can help push you towards a positive outlook for 2021.
