She wrote that she understands that the COVID concerns are valid and this wasn't a good use of her social media to show big gatherings and she doesn't want to encourage this during the coronavirus pandemic times but since this was the first Christmas since the family lost their mother and since she has a big family, they all thought they had to be together and support each other. She also explained that everyone was tested before and after their celebration as a measure of safety.
