To be perfectly honest, I feel that so many of us have come this far being extremely careful about who we meet and how many, and have tried to follow the guidelines, that I don’t feel like throwing all that away just for a few days over Christmas - otherwise what was the point? As much as I’d love to be in the company of different family members over the festive period, especially as I rarely see some of them at other times, I feel that this year we have to be extremely careful. With that in mind, it is highly unlikely that I will see those I would normally see, as much as I would like to ( and none of us are as young as we once were, and every moment with them is precious, therefore not seeing them this year is especially hard - as it must be for so many of us). I think, though, that visiting these loved ones could potentially put them at risk, which I’m not prepared to do, so sadly, this year will be a very quiet Christmas, and I won’t be mixing.
