But our traditions

I thought coats were traditional in Canada.

No those are export only

If u try to make me wear a coat I will start a protest

Outdoor is safe and we have plenty of that, so why not do that.

There was an outdoor birthday gathering (just family) for one of my niblings over the summer. I would've felt okay hanging out in that context, but it would take 3 buses filled with germy strangers each way there and back so I declined.

I'm going to have to figure out how to get everyone's presents handed out...

Freedom to frostbite?

Yeah I realize it’s not feasible for all
With my partners family there’s always a risk that they decide to invite very one without telling us (they did that over the summer and we left)

We've settled for our original plan, stay at home and do Christmas with the two of us (+ the cats). If anybody with their own transport wants to visit us over the Christmas period, they are free to, but it would be foolish for us to observe the high tier 3 restrictions, only to cram onto public transport to visit people in a lower tier area.

Our postal deliveries have gotten shitty in the last week or so. Been expecting a couple of games and loads of cards, but haven’t even seen a post van since Saturday

Our last delivery included stuff for two houses other than ours as well. Hope the cards I sent out actually arrive at their destinations

My mother in law called xmas eve off Wednesday
My *nurse* sister in law had a hissy fit and now it’s back on despite it being band

We’re not going so I’ll look like a meany to her family and I’m sure our sister in law will try to manipulate my spouse in attending

LOL FAMILY

As far as I know, all my friends are following the new cancelled Christmas rules and are either reducing their Christmas to one day or not seeing their family at all. Amusingly, it’s looking like the rules will result in us actually seeing people on Christmas Day rather than not. Two local friends who were going to use the allowed days to see their respective families have called it off, so I’ve invited them over for Christmas Day (allowed). They’ve been almost as safe as us and we’re not seeing anybody else any time soon, so I’m okay with that.

Well, I'm not going to be with any family for Christmas for the first time ever.

But we'll have zoom calls.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 9:51 am

Might be doing a Boxing Day stream after all if we're seeing friends on Christmas Day instead of Boxing Day.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 9:55 am

By the way, if you're ever doing a smash bros stream again, I think I know how to play with friends. You have to setup an arena and make it for friends or something like that.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 10:24 am

Yeah I'll do that at some point. I like playing Smash on stream just because I end up talking about loads of different games.

Kiddo needed some instruction on how to open gifts this morning, but caught on pretty quickly. He lost interest in everything else after he opened the dancing Elmo doll.

We usually pay for our own holiday in the year as a a Christmas present, but me and my wife went half each on the Lego Disney castle this year. Had our eyes on it for years but it’s hard to justify £300 on Lego. After several years though, we just went for it. Wrapped it up for ourselves and still haven’t opened it.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun Dec 27, 2020 1:51 pm

You’re supposed to open it on Christmas! Who knows what’s in there!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Dec 27, 2020 10:02 pm

We got some legos too

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Mon Dec 28, 2020 12:00 am

My parents sent me cookies over a week ago and they still haven't arrived. The most plausible explanation is that scoundrel Dejoy ate my cookies!

Not tonight.

We’re still waiting on a bunch of post we expected before Christmas as well.
