Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022

I wish all my Polychrome friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022. As of this writing I am in Tokyo and am worried about my relatives living in New York. Unlike in Tokyo right now where there are only a few infected by Corona, I hear there is a big wave of new variant spreading in the US> We see in TV news a big number of infected in Great Britain as well. I hope all of you are wearing mask and observing a good social distancing when you are out as this seems to be the big difference between Japan and elsewhee. I hope also we see a return of the happy corona-less time so that we can enjoy meeting each other again.
