Now if you can’t get out this Christmas then remember to curse our Prime Minister, because it looks like we all may be shopping online, but remember to send him Selfie with your mates saying “Nothings going to stop me from socialising at Christmas, it being only once a year”.
I predict that this will continue to the actual big day, not that I have a crystal ball, but I just can see it, and so thank God for the internet.
WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT IT!
If it wasn’t for the internet, it would be empty boxes all round, but hey “It’s the thought that counts”, and is going to be a different kind of Christmas should the Lockdown be continuing up until Christmas day.
People love to socialise around Christmas time, but now are going to be limited, so does that mean no Work Christmas parties, no pantomimes, no Christmas Top of The Pops or many Christmas specials being filmed?
I bet the Queen is happy that her speech is often done at Sandringham, as she won’t be able get through London herself soon, due to the endless road works.
What about the Turkey? And no not the country, but the bird that is eaten in most households this time off year, will we need to hunt one alive and kill it ourselves. Well that is what Gordon Ramsey does each year, and looks like most households may do, too.
The plus side it, less traffic going into London, but hold it, guess what’s coming, a new one way system, starting from Hyde Park Corner through to Marble Arch, down Oxford Street, and will have to go all that way around to get to Regents Street and Green Park, which means buses will be diverted and have to change their route too.
It look like we may have to swim in the Thames to get anywhere, should this continue.
BOY IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL, WHEN YOU THINK LONDON COULDN’T GET AN MORE CRAZY WITH PROTESTS, CLIMATE CHANGERS TAPING THEMSELVES TO A BUS TO GET A FREE RIDE. IT IS AMAZING WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO TO GET THINGS FREE THESE DAYS!
Brexit looks like it has been long forgotten due to COVID, and sadly no Christmas choirs this year.
I would like to go to a Christmas market, but I bet they will be off this year too, and so I would suggest you begin, if not already to do some Christmas shopping, yes online, as online stores are going to be on high demand and may crash during this lockdown.
There is a reason why Boris Johnson is a vegetarian and never eats Turkey, because it effects him socialising and feels uncomfortable around birds.
They usually put an Ice Rink near the London Museums in South Kensington, near the Southbank and around the Strand. Hyde park always has, A Winter Wonderland, through Christmas, but yep, looks like these won’t be happening either.
So what will there be to do. I am going to find my collection of my favourite Christmas films, have hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, with the love of my life and our Children.
Many thanks for reading,
