Joyful Santa

Joyful Santa’s heart was twirling with pure happiness.
He was on top of the world, for life was better than the best.
He danced and sang and gave everyone a feeling of delight.
In truth he was hiding sadness that might to others severely infest.

But by hiding his sadness, he had completely fooled his heart.
He began feeling better and better, although worlds apart.
From his own family, because of the pandemic and gloom.
At least I can see them on a monitor, he thought, for I have Zoom.

I'm afraid we're in for another Christmas of limited contact with friends and family. Zoom is a blessing, I reckon. I don't understand how it works. Don't have it, I don't think.

My computer doesn't appear to have a camera. I think I need a new screen!

Zoom is an app you can download for free. Once you get it, you can set up a meeting - time and place, and email it to your friends. They ACCEPT the meeting - and of course you write the time and date down. On that date 5 minutes ahead of time you log on to your ZOOM app as a meeting HOST and your guests ask to be let in. As their names appear you click to allow them entry and suddenly you have a bunch of videos of all of your loved ones on the same screen! It is so easy! But you do have to remember to click that you want your AUDIO and your CAMERA on when you log into Zoom.
