We’ve all discovered new things about ourselves during quarantine: Maybe you like eating in and being unburdened by social obligations more than you thought.
Bill Wartinbee discovered he might be Santa’s twin. 

The normally clean-cut Longboat Key resident let his daily shave fall by the wayside “in the middle of March when the world fell apart,” he said. A bushy white beard, which made its debut on a Christ Church Zoom bible study, has occupied his face for months now. Despite being a time-saver, it won’t be there much longer now. It’s just not him. Santa — and thick beards — don't thrive in the south Florida heat.
