It’s going to be a hell of a lot weirder this year, and longer to, with no Boxing Day celebrations or New Year’s Eve. Seriously what the hell are we all going to do?

Work like every year. I suspect I'll be busier that the local asda has closed for boxing day along with the rest of the country lol. Once finished I'll polish off that new AU vodka. Looks mental and I wont be able to drink all 3 colours on christmas day.. I hope... could get hairy.

Pretty much the same st I've been doing every single day since I got locked down from the office on March the 11th.

Except I won't have work to distract me, I won't have anyone other than my immediate family to talk to and I have nowhere to go.

I can't wait.

Seriously, though, I'm going to be doing as much walking and running as I possibly can to get me out of the house.

And I suspect both cars are going to be absolutely gleaming......

1- help my lad with the pile of lego he's getting for Christmas

2- service one of the cars including new brake discs+pads and gearbox oil. Kids can help with that.

3- drink the 3 cases of beer I bought from the local indie brewery

4- do the last 100 miles or so of cycling to get to my yearly target.

Should be a good few days.

Dunno which tier you're in, but try to find a local non-league football team still playing on Boxing Day. Put some much needed money in their coffers by paying the tenner or whatever to get in, and buy a Bovril from the tea bar.

Hope that is in UK.

Work collegue is in tier 4 now and was due out to UAE between Xmas and NY, and it is cancelled because he is in tier 4. I think at the moment, or at least at one point after his trip was cancelled, you could technically fly to UAE. Not sure if we are on the ban list now though

I'm off to this https://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/Devon-Lark... with my wife and the dogs. 5 nights from the 29th.
We're planning on doing absolutely nothing apart from walking the dogs each day. Doubt we'll even venture out (apart from said walks)....

Can't wait !

Similar. I’ve been WFH since March 20th.

No kids here, all cars full serviced and maintained already and I’m probably drinking too much already.

Judging by some of the posters / threads in SP&L & NP&E, i'd imagine most of them will be on here even more than usual hehe I reckon PH's Christmas & New Year site traffic will be up massively on previous years hehe

I removed myself from both of those earlier in the year to try and improve my own mental health. I think the next 6 weeks are going to need a lot more than that...
