Will you be having Christmas dinner with your family/extended family this year even if it means you're breaking the law,

I normally go to my brothers house as my sister in law cooks, Both sets of parents go and her brother/sister and partners are usually there, In the past that is between 10 - 14 people, I doubt my parents will go this time but as long as they invite me I will be going.

I think it will be low key for most I would guess maybe 6 or 8 people it depends on restrictions to some point but more to who follows them or not.

I doubt many will follow the rules, People who have elderly/sick parents will probably stay away,

I will also be traveling south to see my partner at some point after the 25th

Have a good excuse they are currently fitting more ANPR cameras to some motorways to see who is travelling and they will be in operation by end November.

I'm not sure of the current guidelines with traveling from one area to another but I'm living alone so class my partner as my support bubble

Previously Xmas years involved me and K going to a big 12+ family meal at my parents with my 5 nieces and nephews, brother, sister and their partners. Then after we would go to K's mum and step dads for tea along with her Nana. Finally returning home 7pmish knackered and ready to watch for Dr Who

For Xmas 2020 mine and K's first child is due 22nd of Nov so Xmas day will just be me, K the baby and our dog. K's mum and step dad are going to be our childcare support in 2021 especially when I go back to work 1st so depending on the situation by Xmas day they may come to ours Xmas day for a quick visit.

Im not a Christian but I enjoy xmas and Easter (if for different reasons to Christians).

I’m not a pagean but celebrate Halloween and Mayfair, if for different things.

It is just a big roast dinner isn’t it? And if you fancy pulling a cracker over the table then do so but I hope you don’t spend the season alone x

The rule of six is augmented by pre-existing bubbles. Is you have already been spending considerable time together then you are already part of the same bubble. As long as you're not adding people from outside of the bubble then everything is hunky dori.

My mum comes round every day but she can't be my bubble because she lives with another person. My partner comes round most days but he can't be my bubble as he lives with his parents as a carer. So when Leeds goes into tier 3 on Monday I can't see either of them except in a park. My daughter lives in tier 3 Manchester and my son in tier 3 Sheffield so they can't even travel to meet me in a park. Very depressing.

I'm going to suggest

Tiers are meaningless

Bubbles are a sham

The mirriad of dis jointed in effective layers of lip service are a just arbitrary attempts to pretend there is a plan and control

Simple simple fact

Your grand parents and vulnerable family members are not safe

Neither bubbles or rule of six makes it safe

If at any point a vulnerable spends any time un protected in anothers company they will eventually catch covid

My opinion

This xmas a lot of families will think enough is enough and the grand parents and vulnerable family members will mix and cross contamination prepare for a statisticall up tick of death after xmas

But please please do not think "bubbling" is even remotely safe it only helps track and trace NOT infection

Same with rule of six it's a rate of death controller NOT a death prevention method

Mix kids with the older generation or vulnerable and statistically death with follow

Sensual, let the bubble-ees make that decision. My Dad (81) is in our bubble because he lives alone. He is DESPERATE to come, not just at Christmas but any other time. If he catches Covid and dies, his philosophy is he'll die happy because he's seen one out of his four grandchildren (he can't see the other three unfortunately due to Covid rules). The good news is everyone in this house already had it, I have antibodies (recently) and so the likelihood of us getting again is small. Not impossible, but small. It's my Dad pushing to come here, not us desperate for him to come. Many people in their 80s are making similar decisions and I can fully understand it. I'd hate my Dad to die all alone at home, having had no social contact for 9 months (from March to Dec). He lives alone over an hour away from us so we can see him regularly despite the bubble rule anyway.

My Dad already has one, voluntarily. This is a man who insists I should shoot him or throw him off Scout Scar rather than place him in a care home, should he ever get to that stage. He's been telling me that since I was about 14, so 20-odd years. I don't make his decisions.

I feel awful dissuading my Dad from coming here on the train more regularly tbh. I use working from home as an excuse to minimise him travelling on trains and the risk, but he's quite literally stuck at home, totally alone in tier 3 (we're a different region but also tier 3). His lady friend, who would usually come here every few months lives in Spain and they've not seen each other physically since February. He did a little PT tourism job before lockdown which was his social life - that's gone. We're following the bubble rule and that's that.

I don't think I'll be going to see my parents for Xmas. I can't visit them anyway because of the restrictions and they live in a different council area. They're in their 80's and have underlying health conditions so best I probably stay at home by myself. It's only one day after all and I'll be phoning them anyway

What a nice person you are. I’ll also be alone on Xmas day. I’m happy because I can do my own thing, make dinner when I want, lounge in PJs all day.....heaven after a long year of working with just one week holiday! I can’t wait. I’ll shut out the world and spend the day with my two cats

"Sensual, let the bubble-ees make that decision. My Dad (81) is in our bubble because he lives alone. He is DESPERATE to come, not just at Christmas but any other time. If he catches Covid and dies, his philosophy is he'll die happy because he's seen one out of his four grandchildren (he can't see the other three unfortunately due to Covid rules). The good news is everyone in this house already had it, I have antibodies (recently) and so the likelihood of us getting again is small. Not impossible, but small. It's my Dad pushing to come here, not us desperate for him to come. Many people in their 80s are making similar decisions and I can fully understand it. I'd hate my Dad to die all alone at home, having had no social contact for 9 months (from March to Dec). He lives alone over an hour away from us so we can see him regularly despite the bubble rule anyway.

I'm sure all the nurses are most excited about experiencing the most horrid death of thousands of people that dont mind if they die ???

I assume non of those who "dont mind" would not want to sign a DNR?

Worse than what exactly? This is my single, lives alone father following bubble rules. We're doing everything by the book. The fact he doesn't seem bothered about catching Covid from a family who already had it is his business.

Indeed I certainly meant a most horrid death not the most x

Keep calm .

Your reality is different to theirs.

I have learned that every single person has a different reality on here.

Whats right for one person is not right for the other.

By the way I hate the term covid idiot.

So do fucking condescending.

Its freedom of choice...he understands and accepts. My Grandad had diabetes at 81..he still ate cakes n stuff because he said he wasn t gonna start worrying about death at that age. And if you are all happy...bloody right.

We were discussing this yesterday about Xmas plans. My brother and his fiancée bought their first house this year and I think the idea was to go around to theirs for either Xmas day or Boxing Day

Even though they live 6 miles away they were in tier 1 and we live in tier 2, so we could not meet under the old rules. Which is a bit crap as we both live within m25 but he is in herts.

We are thinking maybe just to get a Turkey joint for the three of us (mum, dad and me - we live together) and then play it by ear in case the rules are relaxed for Xmas day and Boxing Day. Luckily I have got their presents already though but worried if the lockdown gets extended much more in to December how will we get presents over to them. Though I suppose I could go for a 6 mile walk and drop them off.

We are putting the house on the market for Christmas day only, the family is booked in to view it in 2 hour slots.

In all seriousness we usually have about 13 people at a table for Christmas, this year it will be slightly quieter.
