My wife and I won't be traveling because traveling is no fun these days. Plus we refuse to get jabbed and don't really care to be in close contact with those who have because there's a chance that they can transfer some of the eugenics material in their bodies to others. We refuse to mask, and don't want to get hassled by Nazis who want to "see our papers".

A lot of the gatherings that we have gone to for years during the Christmas season and on New Years won't be happening because those people are completely paranoid covidiots who are afraid of all human contact, including people who are vaxed. They are afraid to live for fear of dying.

But we do have a few old friends who are not idiots and we've made even more over the past 18 months. So I'm sure we'll get together for dinners and celebrations with different groups of friends throughout the Christmas season. Last year we went to a friend's house for Christmas dinner (before the jab was available) and, gasp, we sat right next to each other, talked, laughed, sang, hugged, and not one person was wearing a mask. Funny how nobody got sick and we're all still alive.

My problem with the holidays is this:

My stepfather is 91 years old and a bigoted redneck. He does not like foreigners. His grandson married a Filipino girl and at the wedding reception, he asked his grandson, "what's wrong? Couldn't get an American girl to marry you?" When asked why he made such a rude comment, his "defense" was "If I think of something to say, I have to say it." When I showed him a picture of my girlfriend, his immediate response was "she's not very pretty, is she?"

My girlfriend is Chinese, but now a US citizen. Why should I take her around my step-father and risk him saying anything stupid to her, or to me? My mother won't go anywhere without my stepfather, so I can't take my girlfriend to any family functions. I occasionally (every two weeks) have dinner with my mom an stepfather while my girlfriend stays at home, so I still see my mom.

What would you do?

I sense that Holidays will be sad this year. Europeans and Americans are acting as if the pandemic is over and some as if there's no virus at all. We all want this nightmare to be over but it's not yet. We won't get rid of this virus while people live in denial and are selfish.

Mine will be ok but I think many people will suffer unfortunately Paris xx

Massageman · Answer

We are in reasonably decent shape.
My wife is a Counselor, so as long as people have problems, she will have a job!
Too bad that the insurance companies are CUTTING how much she makes per session., but at least we are self-employed and we do not require masks on ourselves. :- ).
The number of people coming to our church's weekly Food Pantry has increased 30-50% in the last couple of weeks, if that is any indication.
Lliam said it quite well, and also described our situation nicely.

Our church had about 60+% of us "sick" in January, 2020. No fever, no cough, no problem breathing, no sniffles- just felt like we were hit by a truck- a BIG truck- for a couple of weeks. A year later, none of those people were getting sick, just others who felt OK in January 2020, or some who even got the jab! So, a large number of our friends probably have a decent level of natural immunity, the best kind.
We will have Thanksgiving on Saturday following, and then we will have Christmas Day. I'm starting to lay in special food items - cranberries, special kind of corn the kids like- so the cost doesn't hit us all at once.

It will be a sad holiday this year. More and more places are banning Christmas Celebrations because they do not want anyone to be offended. The massed up situation with the supply chain will cause fist fights in many stores as people fight over the last "Chatty Cathy" doll. Fentanyl will be a bigger problem that ever wit the drug virtually flowing unchecked across the southern border. This will result in more ODs. Unemployment is still running rampant in the country. The numbers are fixed to look good but they do not reflect the number of people who are unemployed whose benefits have run out. Basically a good time to be had by all.

Oigit · Answer

My younger bother and I where raised by a single mother with cancer. So shit holidays are pretty much the norm. We went to the dollar store and got a frozen dinner for Christmas the majority of years when I was growing up. So that is what I will do this year. Probably will do the same for Thanksgiving. So if things get worse doing the worse during the holidays I'll be reminded that it isn't the first time and I'll be ready to fight before it like my Mother, brother and I did before.

KProbably

Not for me, it's the best time of the year but is there going to be anything to actually buy with it is a good question

Between my father now having his car on the road and a decent public transportation network that should logically be alright

Neither affects me given I'm self-employed and any slight financial issues can be rapidly alleviated with an envelope to the refinery

Andres77 · Answer

I have a government job.
Essential personnel.
I'm not feeling the pain so many others have.
I'm very grateful.

The holidays... I'm a bit of a grinch.
I don't like decorations.
Travel during the busy season...😝.

I just want to be surrounded by my little family... but they need more than just a grumpy dad so we compromise.

I’m expecting we will probably go back into lockdown and that our covid cases will sore I know the nurses at the hospital when I went there the other day have serious concerns about the cases going up and people ending up in hospital

Ad_Quid_Orator · Answer

It depends on how low COVID cases and deaths get. Thankfully in 45 of the states, the new case rate is going down.

InferiorElegy · Answer

Travel and covid don't matter to me for the most part, I spend money on food and toys for families in need, Volunteer at shelters making food because I have nothing else to do, I work extra hours Christmas Eve. I spend the holidays alone.

Guanfei · Answer

I'll do what I always do, and it being good will depend on my government who wants to extend the vaccine pass indefinitely. If they do, it's a sign of something that is going wrong.

The pandemic doesn't end when some arbitrary, meaningless government goals are met. It ends when the people say it ends.
