2. I'm curious

Who else is distancing from their unvaxxed rethug relatives for the holidays? Maybe I will grace mine with my presence next year

4. I did go by and drop off my gifts at my mother-in-law's last night.

I wore an N95 but my husband didn't even wear a mask. She is the only one I will risk it with. She is 91 and won't vax due to my sister-in-law's influence of bullying and ignorance.

6. My coworker uninvited her unvaxed daughter

After months of agonizing, hoping her daughter and sil would get vaxed, she realized and decided she could not have them over. Her 22 year old grandson left their home and moved in with her earlier this year because his parents refused the vaccine. That's the bright spot. Her other daughter moved here from California in May, and friend was looking forward to having the whole family together. That daughter is vaccinated and came to stay with them for Christmas.

On the other hand, I was supposed to get together with several ladies for Christmas supper, all of us vaxed and boosted. It's been cancelled, 3 of them are waiting for PCR results; 2 due to exposure and the hostess due to symptoms. Several months ago the hostess had a small vaxed gathering, and 2 weeks later 2 attendees caught covid.

It's probably best to isolate or avoid gatherings this year, vaxed or not. I'm disappointed my gathering was cancelled, but relieved too.

8. Our family mostly got together for Thanksgiving.

But for Christmas we’re all in our separate corners, for safety’s sake. We’re all vaxxed and boosted, though, and still taking this very seriously, thank God! Better safe than sorry!

I’ll take ‘em alive and well and healthy for Christmas. And besides, there’s always Zoom!

12. We're zooming today

Saw one child's family yesterday for dinner.

Saw the others by traveling by car in mid-December. Traffic was pretty good and nice weather for the trip. Only exposures were a couple of stops for fast food takeout and bathroom breaks, plus a couple supermarket trips with the kids.

13. Anytime

I have to be in a public setting, I am very careful before getting back into the car that I spray myself head to toe with disinfectant and wipe down the steering wheel and controls with an alcohol swab. It only takes one unvaxxed trumper to spread it to everyone else.

Went last night but distanced. Most were vaccinated. Today we are going to my SIL's with few folks and all of us are vaxxed.

10. bah

humbug...

[Soph0571]

15. Mate I am self isolating...

Bah humbug indeed,

Although I got my test results about an hour ago and I am now free of the Omi shackles... Huzzah!

[SheltieLover]

11. Merry Christmas Soph & All of DU!

I'm home away from the virus. Pfizer x 3, but not taking any chances!

Last year, my goal was to live long enough to vote for Joe! This year I have my heart set on the mid-terms!

Enjoy!

[Septua]

14. I decided this Christmas Season was especially, special...

..because no family members have been lost to the virus. A point to be truly thankful for.

16. 3-4 people in my house are sick with some virus

Either omicrona or influenza...

All are vaccinated and doing okay. Not even worth the hassle of testing... Just isolating.

It it's COVID, IT'S breakthrough and second time around
