A quiet Christmas 2020
It's been an unusual year and it is turning in to an unusual Christmas. All over the world people are not having the Christmas that they probably expected at the beginning of 2020. But as we all know as Covid took hold all our plans for big events and holidays fell to the wayside.
Literally in the last 24 hours, many people in the UK have had the rug pulled from underneath them as a new fast spreading strain of covid has caused lots of countries to close their borders to travellers from the UK. This probably has most impact on Irish people as many live and work in the UK but had intended to get home for Christmas...but now unfortunately this is not to be.
For my family there has been some changes to Christmas celebrations this year with my younger sister in The Netherlands cancelling her plans to travel home while my twin sister in USA and me in Spain, never even seriously considered travelling back to Ireland given the unfolding situation over the past year. And so it will be a quiet day in my parents house with just my younger sister travelling from Galway to stay with them. My sister works in IT so has been working remotely even before Covid, so it is very safe for her to visit with my parents. And they will then go to my older sisters house for Christmas dinner with her family.
A quiet safe Christmas for all of the family and hopefully then we can all see each other next Christmas time in 2021.
