    Christmas 2020

    It is officially December, mates, so that means the annual Christmas thread. For previous efforts see:

    Christmas 2015 (Christmas of Chaos)
    Christmas 2016 (Make Christmas Great Again)
    Christmas 2017 (Christmas means Christmas)
    Christmas 2018 (#PeoplesChristmas)
    Christmas 2019 (Get Christmas Done)

    Having successfully got Christmas done last year, there can only be one thing dominating our thoughts this time round. Not the chinfluenza, but another hoax - the massive voter fraud on the other side of the pond. 2020 is therefore the year of the Stolen Christmas.

    I have a Milkybar advent calendar.

    Surely, in the spirit of Biden-Harris, this should have been 'Build Back Christmas'.

    Normally my aunt comes from Birmingham but she is officially SCARED to the point where she won't leave her house and has even said she doesn't want to give/receive cards or presents. Secretly I like this as it means I'll be able to swear, talk about things other than the music of Johann Strauss, and don't have to buy her jam.

    It's going to be a fairly shit one. Things are opening back up here today meaning I'm most likely not going to get to go home for Christmas Day because this is at least two weeks too early.

    In that 2015 thread Spoon said he and his mates nicked a Christmas tree.

    No wonder America's gone to shit.

    I'll probably see more of my folks than I usually do. Anything to stop my dad having his customary moving day angina attack.

    Virtual christmas and a Reese's Pieces advent calendar for me. Having worked the last few years I had guaranteed myself the whole two weeks of festivities off, and I'm still taking it coronavirus be damned.

    I have heard some insane rumour Bojo is going to chuck another bank holiday in the week after Christmas, not the standard 'a bank holiday has fallen on the weekend so the next monday is a bank holiday' rule but one additional to that. Sounds like horseshit, didn't the government claim bank holidays cost the economy too much when Labour wanted to bring in more?

    We'll be at home, not seeing the (heavily pregnant) sister in law and I don't have to drive so I can actually drink. This is going to be a Tier 1 Christmas.

    The lockdown restrictions mean I'm going to have to see less of my sister's in-laws, AND I'm not on-call this year so I can drink (more.) It's a thumbs up from me at this stage.

    We haven't decided yet, but I'm fairly certain it's going to be video calls etc. We have a tradition of going to the main cemetery here in Vienna on the morning of the 24th to visit family graves and share anecdotes from the time when the people buried there were still alive - so maybe we'll do that and then go our separate ways.

    I'm going to have a christmas tree in my flat for the first time since I've moved out of my parents' place eight years ago. Proper adult stuff.

    Or the classic: "Dad, didn't grandpa grow up in a majority Jewish neighbourhood? Did he ever talk to you about what happened there after 1938?"

    "Nah, he didn't want to talk about that."

    Awkward silence

    I'm going out to get a Xmas tree today. We're just staying in Amsterdam this year, not seeing anyone, but I'm guessing there'll be some video chat involved. Need to get stocked for Xmas booze and food.

    This is going to be the least Christmassy Christmas yet by the looks of things. I had high hopes until the number of cases here started rising like mad.

    My cousin (who has broken lockdown restrictions a lot) has said he's too scared to meet for Christmas and that we shouldn't do the three household thing...

    We'll be going to an Aunt on Christmas Day but that seems to be about it right now.

    We normally have my mum’s sisters in from Italy for Christmas, but that’s obviously not going to be the case this year which is a bit of a bummer.

    The depths of depression when we’re snowed in for the next 4 months will be marvellous.

    Seeing as it's a time of family.

    Has anyone in 'The Group' heard from Sincere? He stopped posting around the time his old man passed, just wondering if he's oaky.

    I thought I saw a post from him a couple of weeks back, but yea, he has disappeared a bit. John on the other hand, nothing for nearly 2 months now. I really am starting to wonder if something has happened there.

    We'd have no clue unless we were privately messaging him.

    When was Ital last active? Are we getting picked off here of something? Just as Boyd wants to start playing Werewolf too. I know who I'm nominating.

    Googling "Sincere Wolves" and shitting yourself that every hit is about a death until the penny drops

    Ital's probably on Australia's version of SAGE so can't be having opinions online any more.
