It is but the wifey just said there you need to form a Christmas bubble with two other households and that’s fixed for the four days. You can’t be in multiple bubbles with multiple households

You can for Christmas though - you can be in bubble with 2 other households.
If you are already in a support bubble with a person they are classed as in your household
 


I think it’s ridiculous now we have a clear exit strategy set out for the next 12 months. Why risk it?
But I hope no one has any regrets come January, and I hope my family, and others in the same situation, don’t take any decision not to see them too badly
 
To be honest, it'll be much like a normal weekend for us.

The only parent either of us have left is my Mother and she comes to ours every Sunday for her dinner, has a glass or two of wine, then goes home. At Christmas she might have a few more drinks and possibly stay overnight, but that's the only difference.

My brother lives in Ireland with his family so it's normally a phone call to wish everyone happy Christmas - we never normally visit my wife's sisters and their families over the Christmas holidays, so no change there (might have a night out down the town for a meal with them but that obviously isn't likely to happen this year).

I've never been out drinking over Christmas and New Year for almost twenty years - it's just too much of a f@ck on. Christmas Eve is a ballache, Christmas day just as bad. When my Dad was alive we might have had a couple of pints on Boxing Day but, as stated, not for a long time now. Never been out on New Year's Eve for even longer - it's just not the same as I remember from my youth.

The one thing I do miss is my once-weekly night out on a Friday with my mates - none of us are into social media so we generally have loads to talk about and catch up on. The change of scenery and company is also a bonus.

Apparently though, missing pubs and clubs makes me a selfish p!sshead who is responsible for everyone's Granny dying. Who'd have thought it, eh?

We usually do her parents then my parents comes to ours later. Problem being her sister would also want to see her Mam. So as long as we only see the parents and her sister and her Mam only sees two households thats ok isnt it? 🤣

This highlights the double standards of the government. Why is Christmas more important that other religious holidays that didn’t have this kind of measure.

I get it, they can’t please everyone, but for me, they’ve lost the plot. Someone tell corona to have the 5 days off.

Which festival should they have gone for? All or none of them? As for the 5 days off thing people have been cracking this 'joke' since day one. Corona doesn't decide not to pop into Tesco either but it's still been open. It's never been about eliminating all transmission but minimising it where necessary.
 
Owa the moon with the 3.
Just us, my son's house and my daughter's.

In-laws at a minimum.
Her mother, her 2 brothers and 3 sisters will have to sort themselves out for a change.

Gonna be great.

mate the point made in the last sentence really boils my piss.. it really isn’t just about the drink... if it was I’d drink at home. Never drank nearly all the way through lockdown1 and not had a drink since I returned from turkey early October due to quarantine and lock down2. Tell me I’m allowed to get out tomorrow and have a few beers with my mates and I’m there.. and I couldn’t give many fucks about what people on here or anywhere else think of me for that.. wanting to spend time with my mates having a few bevies in a pub is selfish then I’m selfish... people have went on about getting back to gyms etc and rightly so, and apart from the thread @janey started ( which was reacted to ridiculous imo) no one got ripped to shreds for saying they missed the gym...even though you can train at home ( ok it’s not as good ) and still achieve satisfactory results, but dare to say you missed going to the boozer or you we’re gutted about your holiday being cancelled you were labelled a selfish granny killer without any morals...different people have different priorities , it’s those people’s personal circumstances that dictate what they prioritise.. got nothing to do with anyone, but to sit on here and label someone without knowing anything about them or their circumstances is f***ing toxic..

I 100% disagree with this Christmas fiasco mind, like many others we’ve stuck to the rules through the hardest time of our lives and just as things seem to be turning on a positive track it looks like we will spunk it all away for 1 Christmas!!! We’ve done without nearly everything since March, surEly everyone can manage a very quiet Christmas in our own home and keep the positive trend going until vaccines can make a notable difference..

Although I do find it funny reading some of the more vociferous name callers claiming they will be forced into going to in laws parents etc... couldn’t make it up man..

My lass has said etc etc etc..

Fuck sake people, if you feels so strongly about protecting your families and the wider populous, as has been portrayed on here with your thick, loon, Conspiracy nut job, selfish , granny killer type jibes, then grow a pair of f***ing nads each and tell you families it’s a no go.. not going to happen .. being a sanctimonious wanker isn’t selective, you can’t drop it over Christmas because your other half told you ...

In a nutshell people have 3 options.

1. Stick to the rules by the letter.
2. Stay home and see nobody.
3. Gan f***ing mental and party.

Whichever group you fall into you should let the other people do what they wish and what they're comfortable with.

What if members of same couple have differing opinions?

Pointless announcement. Families who wanted to were all going to meet up regardless.

I know lots of people who had no intention at all of mixing households especially those who have spent months this year shielding

we lost my uncle today to Covid- caught it in hospital , one less household to worry about
 
The Mrs has already made up three support 'bubbles' so she can see all of her family.

She's managed to combine five households.

Her dad is meant to be on the shielding list.

Guess I won't be seeing my mam and dad this Christmas, but as long as she's alright, that's all that matters.
