Another Christmas will be spent at home. I am very grateful to have a spouse who agrees that it’s safer to stay here than to visit with family who refuse to take any Covid precautions.
We will have a nice quiet day to ourselves, and with our 3 cats.
Some family is upset. But I didn’t ask to be a part of the tradition they envision, one that cares more about process than people.
What embodies the Christmas spirit more than taking care of others? A great gift would be everyone protecting each other, gathering outside with proper respirators, distancing, and caution, isolating ahead of time and repeat testing, staying home when sick, positive, or potentially exposed.
I might not see you this year. That’s ok. Knowing you are safe is the best gift of all.
