[Other Sport] Covid Secure Christmas

[southstandandy]

Cancelled our break in a hotel in the West Country and the kids are staying at their respective universities to save unnecessary travel , so just me and the wife this year for the first time.

Will do the odd zoom call to extended family but we just accept that for this one year Christmas will just be a simple affair. Actually quite looking forward to it.

 

[Swansman]

Do you celebrate on 24th?

Yup

 

[middletoenail]

Yup

I'm half Finnish, love having the split of traditions over Christmas.

If you are half Finnish, wouldnt that mean that you are hung over as hell on the 25th?

Do you know if Finnish people also do the "watch Donald Duck on Christmas" shit?

Mrs P: I think we should visit my parents for Christmas this year

Perkino: I'd love to but unfortunately due to Covid 19 it isn't safe to see them

 

[bluenitsuj]

None of the options

 

[Starry]

carrying on as normal, we'll be about 24/26 people in our house.

absolutely no masks or sanitiser in sight.

I know it's early days for the poll and plenty of time for change, but I am mightily impressed by how sensible some people are being...

Maybe with the exception of the poster directly above me, unless of course he has A LOT of kids...

Who knows, we haven't got out of Lockdown 2 yet.

With this Government, it could be anything, from Lockdown 2 continuing to forget about the virus and go where you like between Xmas Eve and New Years Day and we'll worry about the new spike in the middle of January when it comes.

Although fully expecting to be at home with the wife and a tin of spam for Christmas Dinner.

The rumours are that there will be some relaxation of the rules between 24th Dec and 1st Jan, I think there is a fear if any lockdown rules or the regional approach is too draconian many millions will just ignore them anyway. There will be some rules, like rule of 6 outdoors etc (possibly indoors in tier 1).

Well played.

Two years ago I told my mother that I was going to visit my girlfriend for christmas, while I told my girlfriend that I was going to visit my mother. Spent the day playing smoking, drinking, eating and playing video games while using my t-shirt as a napkin and farting in my underwear. Best christmas of my life.

I’ll think about it December 24th

Canceled the Hawaii holiday and will either stay home or get together with some friends (who we know aren't out there being daft) after everyone gets tested. Not risking elderly family but also things are a little more hectic over here I think.

 

[pasty]

Little difference this year than any other year, apart from whether my local will be open Christmas Day or not.

 

[Sorrel]

You forgot a "none of this" option.
