Oh this is going to be a special one. Half the retailers will be closed and we’ll be elbowing our way through Karen’s.

1. Knee deep in Karen's.

2. And if you order anything because they slowed down the post office you might not get it in time !

3. I haven't seen my grandchildren,

except via FaceTime, since Christmas 2019. I wonder if we will be able to visit this Chirstmas/Hannukah. This is the saddest thing of all for me. They are young women, 12 and 15 and this is the longest time we've been apart since I held them in my arms as newborns.

They live two states away and it would be no problem to make the drive before covid. Now that drive is a minefield of risks and they themselves have not been isolating.

10. I grew up in a military family and my mum was a Brit

because we moved overseas sometimes, I would not see my grandparents on one side for years, then my grandparents on the other side for years - I could not talk to them either, way too expensive.......I would send them snail mail, and draw the outline of my hand on the back of the envelope. Now at work, I instant message / Skype with people all over the world.

4. On the bright side ....

We should have a new President-Elect by then ..... the best Christmas gift of all!

7. I give gift cards.

I'm not in the store long enough to care about 'the Karens'.

8. Eeeeek!

Don't remind me!

9. I refuse to celebrate anything until January 20, 2021.

What is this 'Christmas' thing you speak of?

Seriously, I haven't celebrated Christmas since my parents passed away. I have no family left. And I'm sure as heck not doing all that work for myself. 3 days to put the tree up, at least three days to take it down. No thanks. No more Christmas at my house. I'm Scrooge.

11. I don't do any family xmas shopping

but I do donate to "Toys for Tots" and fulfill the occasional requests for children on the xmas trees in some stores
