At this point during the coronavirus pandemic, we are all looking for some positivity. Some folks are so desperate for some light in their lives that they are quite literally hanging some.

People are beginning to rehang their Christmas lights in hopes of lifting their spirits. Carson Jean is one of those people. She posted a photo of her decorations with the caption, “Putting up my Christmas lights as a reminder to everyone that there is always light in the darkness. And that even though everything is so sad and scary right now there is still plenty of good (if you don’t see the good be the good.) Maybe we all needed this quarantine as a reminder to love everyone and to not take anything for granted.”

She and the others sharing their lights with the hashtag #Lightsforlife. See some of their posts below.
