It’s Christmas again.

But its Christmas, 2020.

That means the breaking of either government ‘directives’ or long standing traditions. Which will it be?

Midnight Mass is out in most places; can’t have too many people in one place. The Christmas Pageant is gone too- not allowed to be that close and sing.

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house? Nope, nope and nope. Going over the river means traveling, and we can’t do that. Can’t go to a gathering; especially at Grandmother’s house! Just walking in the door might kill her with the Covid.

Well, maybe I can go see my grandkids? Nope! Can’t have households mixing.

Exchanging gifts? Nope! Not unless they are washable (got to disinfect them, don’t ya know), and we need to find a neutral place to leave them. Can’t meet up and violate ‘directives’.

And of course don’t even THINK about hanging the mistletoe. Even if your married. One of you COULD be sick with a virus that has no symptoms but is still contagious.

About all I can do is sit in my living room and watch an old Christmas movie and drink. Provided I used a mask when I got my liquor.

The question is how long will we consider these intrusions ‘normal’? I never have.

 

I have absolutely no issue with anyone taking any precaution they deem required to protect their health. Masking, distancing, vaccines; it’s their health to manage as they see fit.

Just as it’s mine to manage as I see fit. And me managing my health does not include any of the above.

Just when will I be able to manage my own health and life? When will I be able to celebrate Christmas in the normal way?

It sure won’t be in 2020.

 

 Hard to believe it's been almost 7 years since my last post. But that does coincide with me joining a (nameless here social media site) that I have recently turned my back on.

So I guess you will need to start putting up with my drivel again.

Once I relearn this blogger thing. Hopefully that won't take long.

I originally started posting on (nameless site) because i thought it would increase my readership. Apparently the only folks reading my posts anyway were the (nameless site)'s censors. 

So I said what the Hell; go back to Blogger. I'll have the same number of readers and won't be putting any money into that jackass's pocket.

I may repost some of the stuff I did on (nameless site) here. I found it interesting, and I won;t need to dream up new content for a few weeks!

I'll also have to update my bio. After a decade and a lustrum in the legal world, i went back into machining 4 years ago. Some things never change. Other things always do.

Well; lets go see what we can get into!
