Looking at the courtyard of Lerry Woolf's house decorated with garlands and decorative figures, it is difficult to guess what season or holiday it is: Christmas, Easter or Thanksgiving. But for the owner of this house, something else is important.

“This is all to somehow cheer people up. Now everyone is sitting at home and we need a little positivity and joy, so we put decorations for all the holidays in the yard at once,” he explained.

Mickey Mouse in the form of a Halloween pumpkin is dressed in a protective mask, like all residents of Los Angeles. Lerry's neighbors smile every time they walk past this unusual house. They say that they are grateful to the owner for the opportunity to escape from stress.

“I think these people are a little eccentric, but in a good way,” says Mary Ann, a neighbor of the Wolfe family. - By this they want to say “We love you. We will survive this. We are together".

In order to somehow cheer themselves up and those around them during quarantine, many Americans began to hang Christmas lights.

Animator Charlie Baen lives in Kansass. During quarantine, he began giving online lessons on how to build luminous decorations from copper wire and garlands.

“We all have fond childhood memories of Christmas lights,” Charles says. “We have thousands of tornadoes every spring. Therefore, I would like to have some kind of light decoration in the yard, for example, in the form of a ball, so that when the wind sweeps everything away, it does not destroy the neighbors’ house.”

Charlie decorated his house with lights. He says that it is easier and more enjoyable to live in quarantine.

“Take a deep breath, relax and understand: this is how everyone lives now. You are not alone!" - he noted.

Sports fans joined the flash mob and were bored without competition of their favorite teams during quarantine. That's how the residents of the suburb of Seattle decorated their yard.
