Lost my mother early on in the COVID disaster, couldn’t attend her funeral, shielding since forever, my eldest, his partner and our granddaughter unable to visit for Christmas but, we still have FaceTime and we are all safe at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not complaining, just don’t let anyone tell me that there’s no problem with the virus and it’s no worse than flu and we don’t need masks and everyone should just carry on because it only kills a small percentage of people. My mam came from the generation that survived the blitz and had the attitude that “we’ll be fine” and I’m a great believer in this.
I’m not posting this as a negative in any way, yes it will be very different this year but we have the future family times to look forward to. So...
Merry Christmas to all on Planet Swans and a Happy New Year, keep posting on here, it definitely helps us who are going to be stuck at home again until the vaccines are up and running and working.
Lack of Christmas spirit? No, it’s just different.
Stay safe.
