A study found 44% of Americans said they’re not gathering for Christmas with their loved ones, a Civic Science infographic said.

More respondents in December reported canceling in-person Christmas than in October, the study’s infographic said. In October, 36% responded that they still planned in-person gatherings, but that number dropped to 30% just before the holiday....

I wonder how many people just used the dread virus 'rona as an excuse to not together with people they didn't want to get together with.

[AFB-XYZ]

I thought the same thing! LOL

[Rurudyne]

I’ll still be home for Christmas,
You can count on that,
If there’s sun and it’s nice and warm,
And nothings on the TV.
Christmas Eve will find me
Posting on forums and Such
I’ll still be home for Christmas
At least I’ve still got day dreams!

MY TOO SINS WORTH

[max americana]

We have our share of idiot lib relatives and I still went regardless. The Leftards dont want us to congregate like those poor saps in the Uk, so anything that runs contrary to these clowns, I simply do.

[CodeToad]

44% of the people are morons.

[Truthoverpower]

I’ve been saying for a long time now if this thing drags out that this corona bull crap is just an excuse for people to get away with things they would normally be obliged to do

This is both true for personal and family obligations as well as work obligations

For example the wife’s parents to traditionally host ourselves and her sister for a birthday cake and Christmas decided to blow it all out this year and we didn’t go down at all

Of course my dear we did get on a plane and fly to see my parents 80 and 85 in August it’s really just a mindset that’s all

Of course my work consist of putting solar panels on peoples houses re-wiring clear electrical circuits ; and replacing the electrical panels and

I don’t thiink
you could do that with the computer

Or get a robot can do it

As soon as the tech geniuses can design a robot to

I take a ladder off the truck after securing it on the way there

set up that 25 to 40 foot ladder ;secured on the roof

and then climb up the ladder carrying things

you let me know

Dear Mary Rose Corkery

None of this is the result of ‘the virus’.

All due to the psychopathic Governors and County officials, who use cv19 hysteria to be their own little Mussolini.

That’s about the percentage who vote democrat.

Honestly, you can tell a person’s political affiliation by their response to COVID.

“I wonder how many people just used the dread virus ‘rona as an excuse to not together with people they didn’t want to get together with.”

🤣
It was very tempting!

my husband just said “more proof of a blowout by Trump: 56% voted for him”

[Fledermaus]

We did too

[metmom]

I sure believe that.

[californian by choice]

44% are regular KOOL AID drinkers.
I had a Christmas meeting with my children and grandchildren and we had a beautiful Christmas night

[MuttTheHoople]

I am part of the 56% that had Christmas supper with my family

[Tax-chick]

44% of Americans said they’re not gathering for Christmas with their loved ones

How many would have said the same last year?

We have typically "gathered" with just our immediate family: my husband and me and our children. For purposes of the survey, is that "gathering" or "not gathering"?

Non-resident, but nearby, adult children came over yesterday, except the one in Okinawa. Does that count as "gathering" or "not gathering"?

Here’s a day to consider;
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th from my The First Book Of Moses poetry page

On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th

Once Upon a Time and not too long ago
The Twelfth Night Of Christmas
was celebrated with a ball
From the Day of Babes Birth
and the 11 thereafter
kith and kin were paid a visit
and friends from far and near
once were paid a call
So on this day I pray in the spirit that this date recalls
Let the gift of homage of kings gain
in the spirit of the days this season yet remain
ere it wane
Be thine Blessings Great
and misfortunes thee none befall

This poem is an abbreviated version from my websites poetry page which shows how the Christmas season was observed by Catholics in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood during depression times and WWII.The page also lists the differences from traditional Roman Catholic Christmas observance and the present after Vatican 2.Which eliminated a period of mortification during the advent period of fast and abstinence or reducing emphasis on observing feast days such as Immaculate Conception December 8th and the 12th day of Christmas known as the Epiphany January 6th.Resulting in listing Epiphany no longer on most calendars because of the decision to observe Epiphany to a Sunday following Christmas the 25th and New Years which was then known as the feast of Circumcision later named The Presentation when Jesus was presented in the Temple .

I’m the 66.

I’m a scofflaw who traveled to locked down Michigan.

In the small town I’m in, I’ve seen several revel out of state plates.

66 because 10% lied so they’d make the pollster feel good and leave
