Having written thousands of Christmas spots and ads over a number of decades, I was wondering how you top "Black Friday' and 'Cyber Week'.

Is there a name for it nowadays? How do you pitch the promotion in the face of an absolutely awful tidal wave of Covid infections? (deliveries are already falling WAY behind...from personal experience.)
Do you even encourage people to go to stores?

The goal here is to calm people who will increasingly be scared out of their wits with the usual personal celebrations canceled or reduced to a living room couch. I would not like to be in the business of writing these ads right now. Additional complications in various locations, Hanukkah starts Wednesday night and will be over an entire week before Christmas.

Anyway...seen anything or have any ideas of your own?
