A Covid Christmas - the new festive rules

Christmas will be different, yes, but we can still make it special. 

This year is going to be about new traditions. Instead of filling days with trips to the panto and visitors, it will be brisk walks, movie nights, and board games.

In a year that’s unpredictable, confusing, and often upsetting, there’s one guarantee: Christmas is coming. It may not be the Christmas that we’re used to or the one we’ve come to know and love (or loathe) but it doesn’t mean that it can’t be very special anyway.

There won’t be boisterous Christmas parties where we dance on tables, roaring 'Fairytale of New York' at co-workers whose names we barely know, or a calendar on the fridge to keep track of nights out. There won’t be a Christmas morning visiting schedule so detailed that even five minutes extra in the in-laws could mean getting home to a turkey you could break your teeth on.
