Christmas

[MU82]

I was bummed I didn't get a picture of my kids with Santa this year but this story reminds me it was a good idea we skipped it.  How can anyone think having a Santa with no mask on was a good idea either?

Peeple iz stoopid.

Nads, normally I would agree with your statement. But, I'm now at the point where, grandparents, those who are immuno-compromised, have comorbidities, or otherwise are covid crazed, need to protect themselves and stay away. Others should carry on as normally as possible and enjoy, hey?

Pretty hard to carry on as normal when not everyone has the ability to simply isolate themselves from society.

Honestly I think that should be pretty obvious to everyone at this point but... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

"I don't live in a multigenerational home so nobody else does, right? Definitely not essential workers, they're at work because they want to be right? Right guys? Having just the one Christmas is more important than the millions of people living in apartment buildings, right? Just enjoy yourselves in your McMansions everyone!"

Someone's crying Lord, kumbaya . Someone's angry Lord, kumbaya.
Someone's bitter Lord, kumbaya.
Oh, Lord kumbaya, hey?

I'm none of those. I'm simply amazed that you can't figure out that your idea doesn't work.

'As normally as possible?' Sure...as long as it takes into account the very real world we are living in right now.

And it certainly is possible to continue many normal holiday traditions while still exercising a little bit of common sense in the midst of a global pandemic. Like having Santa and the kids all wear masks...hey?

It's all a hoax, anyway. That's why your hero has decided to hold numerous super-spreader Xmas parties. Gotta stop the War On Xmas, dontcha know.

Meanwhile, here was the macabre sub-headline on a Washington Post article today:

Every time you listen to Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," about five people have died from the coronavirus between the beginning and the end of the song.

But sure. Party on!

Enjoy

Not gathering.   Invited my father, who has also survived COVID.   He isn't coming because he doesn't want to drive in lake effect snow.    Everyone else is celebrating quietly in individual family units.

Need to remember what we are celebrating, ai'na?

I don't get it. Our Thanksgiving was different but it wasn't bad. Christmas will likely be the same. Why can't people just do this for one year?

I don't get it either.

Sometimes a one-time switch from a long-held tradition leads to an occasion that will be fondly remembered for years.

this ain't a one size fits all thing.  read what warrior had to say.  more people are dying being shutdown.  wash hands, wear a mask if you are too close to someone and limit where ya go if you can. 

never liked the abbreviation for Christmas.  i believe it should be respected as such.  we don't refer to hanukkah as xukka or kwanzaa as xzaa.  there is a Christ in there for good reason whether you believe or not

the underworld better hope the harass admin is the prom queen w/o pimples or are the seas gonna stop rising and covid deaths end at midnight jan 21? 

Enjoy

Leave it to rocket to be worried about the X in Xmas.

Consent is key

Depends if that neighbor is a female who wants to shave her head to support a friend going through cancer treatment
