Will you have yourself a very Covid Christmas?
Now that we’ve officially finally made it to the festive period here are the reasons why Covid shouldn’t spell the end of a fun family Christmas for you and your loved ones.
After a year of isolation for many the Christmas holidays could be the first time some of you can get together and enjoy a drink and some top quality nosh with family and friends. A small minority may not agree with the break in lockdown for a handful of days but I think we all need it for our sanity and mental health.
Tis the season for laughter, joy and goodwill, so let’s make the most of it. Meet with your family, enjoy those stupid party games, drink too much sherry and laugh at Uncle Harry’s dancing while Auntie Doreen snores in the corner. Remember what normality feels like and know that we will soon be back to those days.
Enjoy it all and make it especially fun for the children, we forget that they have had it harder than most of us. Spoil them rotten, feed them full of turkey, mince pies and Christmas cake and see the smiles on their faces. Give them a Christmas that they can remember.
You may be thinking, what about the R rate, what about the spread of Covid and what about further lockdowns. Of course it all matters, but so does our mental health, our children’s wellbeing and happiness. Our Great Aunties, Uncles, Grandparents and Parents who have spent most of the year alone, unable to go out of the house. Let’s give them all a reason to smile, to enjoy every precious Christmas moment and be optimistic of better times ahead.
2021 promises to be full of excitement, holidays, drinks in the pub and shopping without a mask. Let’s think positively, enjoy the fun of Christmas and see those children’s faces glowing with excitement. All within the confines of the law and the constraints of the virus.
Have yourself a jolly, merry, covid Christmas!
