Once the pandemic is past many will celebrate. Some people will celebrate missed holidays, such as Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter, others will celebrate belated birthdays, and some will celebrate with showers for new brides and for babies.
One thing that seems likely at this time is it will be spring, or maybe summer. Outdoor cookouts will occur. Perhaps family reunions will be more plentiful than normal. People will just gather and celebrate.
One thing times of concern do is bring nations together, so national pride celebrations will be likely. In some cases, such as for the French, the timing of Bastille Day may be fortuitous, or perhaps not. We shall see. Or will Independence Day in the United States follow the end of the problem period?

Some people will place small decorations, perhaps as simple as confetti, on a table to enhance the decoration.
blackspanielgallery, Thank you for the practicalities and products.
What is table scatter?
Here we are given tracks locally and nationally. It appears to be slowing. The problem people have is the lead time, infected people can take up to a couple of weeks to show any symptoms. So when they are asked to do something it is not clear to them it is working, for initially the graphs keep rising. But after weeks it may be changing.
I know after they reopen it may be time before getting a table at a restaurant, since so many will go. But people will go back to celebrations, and things will get to a positive place again.
I concur with Veronica on this matter.
But your positive outlook is well-founded, for there have been dark times, such as the Black Death and Spanish Flu, when it seemed that the horrors would never end. Yet end they did. Looking at the graphs, I discern a slowing of the increase in cases in the UK.
What a lovely positive post. Here in the Beswick - land , we had so much to look forward to this year, including Frank's birthday in June. However, the family baptism, 1st communion are all postponed and several events too.
I had already said that we would have lots of celebrations when this is all finished and your post makes me feel more positive. Thank you for all these ideas.
