Abbreviated Holidays
The pandemic is pulling on the holidays this year. Everyone in my family has agreed that it's not safe to get together for Yule or Christmas, so we aren't. It's going to an Abbreviated Holiday.
Today I did some baking. No-bake chocolate/peanut butter cookies. Rum balls. Haystacks. Fudge. Chocolate chip cookies (some of which I deliberately burned to a crisp because Darwin likes them that way). It was a nice way to spend a winter afternoon.
Tomorrow, I'm going to go down to see Aran and Sasha at their place. We'll stay masked and distant, with a window open to keep air well-circulated. We'll have dinner (I'm taking picnic food along) and visit a little, and I'll give them their presents. They won't open them, though. They can keep them out as a Yule decoration and be something to look forward to. They'll also get some cookies. Just a few. :)
Kala is having some medical stuff going, and will need some help at her place for a few days. She's already formed a COVID "pod" with Aran, so he can visit her. He'll also take some presents and cookies to her.
On Christmas Day, we'll hold a Zoom meeting so we can all open our presents together. It'll be abbreviated, but no less festive!
