Debbie Ingenito, a blonde mother of a family, has decided to make a “Covid tree” this year. She decorated it with the whole panoply of objects that have become indispensable in 2020: masks, rolls of toilet paper that were so lacking at the start of the pandemic, bottles of bleach, sponges, disinfectant wipes… “Welcome to 2020! She tweeted. “Make her the most beautiful of years” with the hashtag “laughter is the best medicine”.
The coronavirus has clearly stimulated the creative talents of Americans, who by storm the imagination to adorn their trees. Moses Hoole, Michigan, also hung up toilet rolls and masks, but added a sleek set of purple rubber gloves. “In honor of the millions of health professionals who work on the borders of the pandemic,” including his sister, he announced.

For lovers of more classic trees, the sellers of ornaments have adapted their offer. Wayne Doleski, the co-owner of OrnamentShop.com in Ohio, says pandemic-related decorations have made up a quarter of his sales in recent weeks. “If you want to introduce a little levity into everything that’s going on, this is a little way to do it. »The pyramid of miniature resin toilet paper rolls personalized with your name is sold out, but there is still in stock a small bottle of hydroalcoholic gel that you can hang between two balls or a mini-figure of the Dr Fauci, the head of the Institute of Infectious Diseases, who fought against Donald Trump to warn of the dangers of the coronavirus.
Among the decorations which are all the rage, there are also small red spheres bristling with quills supposed to represent the virus. And, this year, everyone is masked, from Santa Claus to the snowman, including cherubs! More original, particularly creative minds have invented a way of recycling old masks to make two-tone angels.
And, for those who haven’t managed to buy a tree (there’s no longer a single one available in some corners of the US and prices are skyrocketing), an Australian nurse has found the way. Less aesthetic and less fragrant than a real tree, but cheaper and more ecological … At least as long as there is toilet paper!
