terrierjohn Posted December 13, 2020 #10379 Share Posted December 13, 2020 We do intend to visit both our son's houses this Xmas but we will be observing social distancing and no hugs and kisses. Whether this will be enough to ensure we don't catch the virus, we will find out afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor Posted December 13, 2020 #10383 Share Posted December 13, 2020 We are just going up the road to see my daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandsons. I am part of their bubble to help with school while they are at work. There will be no hugging or kissing. Have not had any since March except occasionally from the middle grandson who has autism. He just surprises me with a kiss at the school gates then runs off. We have tried explaining that he shouldn’t do this but either he doesn’t or doesn’t want to understand. I was very disappointed this morning to see lots of young people in London, Liverpool and York all out for a good time last night, not much in the way of social distancing and not a mask in site. All three areas have seen an increase in COVID cases and are likely to be in Tier 3 next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted December 13, 2020 #10384 Share Posted December 13, 2020 We are going to my mother's (she hasn't been out of her house since the beginnng of August) along with my third daughter and her husband. My eldest son is going to my second daughter's house. My youngest son is having my eldest daughter and her daughters and my youngest daughter will be there too (if she's not working) as she lives there. So my family are all sorted. We will catch up with those we don't see at Christmas later - thankfully we are in teir 1 so it makes meeting up easier!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people think they are immune but as we know on here even school children sadly have caught Covid19 so all these young people out drinking,no masks or social distancing are a ticking time bomb for covid19 infections in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love Hanley when I was a teenage but it has changed so much over the years. Haven't been up to Hanley to shop for years. We used to go to Crewe but that has changed so much too since they lost BHS and M&S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainsburys sent me some wild salmon in place of the normal Scottish farmed fillets earlier this year, I thought it was very poor, tasteless and dry, but then I am well known for having no taste.

Will we miss not seeing some of our family but if they are all safe and healthy, what more could I ask for ? We are not alone ,many up and down the country, lots will be doing the same thing . Not just our country , I see Germany are Locking back down from the 16th of this month until January. Reading from some of our past , this should be a walk in the park compared to WW2, when they were wondering if they would have a un-bombed house on Christmas day and our festive dinner would have seemed a dream back then . When I read of a guy who tells you "The best Christmas present was a plank of wood my dad carved into the shape of a rifle ." Then I think ,it's just one year and if Christmas is about loving and caring then I know I can still do that whether we are together or not . One things for sure ..This is a Christmas we will never forget ! https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Christmas-in-World-War-Two/ Nice one Kalos As you say, a unique Christmas. I am one of those poor souls for whom Santa brings a a birthday (I changed it to an official birthday on 28 June this year - that went really well 🙄) I look forward to joining you on 25 December. I’ll have a bottle of fizz on the go and you’re all welcome to a glass The toast is ”2021. May it bring peace and normality” Edited December 13, 2020 by Eddie99 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
