No Sitting on Santa's Knee This Year
Christmas is coming. Mum and I are discussing what to get for Christmas this year. What gifts and cards to get and for who. A tin of shortbread, a box of sweets, a bottle of vodka to get. We're planning ahead so we don't need to rush in December when everyone does their Christmas shopping. Christmas. What would it be like this year? I guess no family from different household can be together still because of the coronavirus restrictions. It's getting bad here now. It's been total lockdown in some part. I know we should abide by the rules but we're hoping we can celebrate Christmas as we used to but I guess there's still the word "restriction". Jigz asking me today if Santa will be coming to the shopping centre the same last year. Tia looked at me waiting for an answer and before I say a thing, her eyes got big and with a big smile, she said, "I'm going to sit on Santa's knee! And he will give me sweets!" in her cute tiny voice excitedly! She must remember visiting Santa's Grotto.
And that after taking pictures while they sit on Santa's knee, Santa will give them sweets and they were very happy! They even got a high five from Santa!
Sad to say and so I told them, maybe not this year. Next year hopefully you can sit on Santa's knees again, both of you!
I'm not even sure if we can see Santa on his grotto or can we still have exchange gifts with our family outside our home? The virus is really powerful, in a snap it change everything and suddenly Santa will not be available or maybe he will still be there but only for viewing. It's just sad because every year we are all so excited for the Christmas time. Are you still excited? What would our Christmas 2020 be like? ***Christmas is coming, what is your plan?*** As long as we are all well.. We can just all celebrate in our own simple way with our family. ❤ Thank you so much!

That's amaizing!! But sadly to say this our happiness has taken away because of this damn pandemic😐
Yes, I know. It's just sad. The kids looking forward to sing Christmas Carole's to the neighbour's house back home. My nephew just told me last night that he's not happy because of that.
That's really sad, i hope everything will be fine soon
I see, there is a lot of gift. But unfortunately the situation is against us.
Yes, this year, we won't be buying many gifts just whatever they need the most. Still going to send cards but have to send it by post. Everything will be different but hopefully something we still can be enjoyed together.
Yeah, I understand this
Because of the pandemic every festival become so boring. We can't celebrate our Eid this year. And there is no guarantee that next year will go well. Christmas is also going to be celebrate different way than previous. By the Marry Christmas dear. ❤
I know and we cannot do anything about it because it won't change even we complain. Its really sad. We're all going to celebrate Christmas on different approach as long we can make it a merry one and new year a happy one! Take good care and be safe Jess. ❤
Same as you. There was no excitement on our part. All we are thinking is about on how this pandemic will stopped so that things will be back to normal haysss
We started the year so bad and hopefully this 2021 will start with good news. Let's pray for that. 🙏 Take care always Yen and your kiddo and all your family.
Thank you. You too and your family.
We don't have that gathering when we celebrate christmas. We just eat together cook a little and celebrate it like it's a normal day. But I hope everything went back to normal, so thatvwe can go to church.
We have a very big family back home in the Philippines and in here, everyone comes to visit Mum and the kids and so they're expecting that they will see them again but since lockdown some of them still not not able to go out because they are high risk. We also eat together, but giving cards here is a tradition, even giving just a tin of biscuits or box of sweets. Yes, I hope, we hope everything to get back to normal. You keep safe, you and your family dear. Kisses.
That is why, because of quarantine, we have so many traditions that we can't do now. You too, keep safe always
Mamamasko powwwwww. Samin namam di uso ang gift giving kapag christmas at new year. Pero sa mga bata talagang kelangan, mga pamangkin. Nakakalungkot laang gawa ng hindi maeenjoy ang pasko ngayin ay ano. Dagdagan pa noong mga nangyaring typhoon dini, ang daming nasalanta baga. Ako ay nayayamot na talaga sa 2020, hindi talaga maganda ang taong ito.
Yes bhe and yung pangangaroling ng mga bata. Uso ba sa inyo yun? I called back home and my nephew told me that he is sad because he can't go houses to sing and knowing that they all get money from it, it's already a tradition. Sinimulan kami sa Batangas ng bulkan hanggang matapos ang taon sana ay maayos na next year. Ingat ikaw bhe and your family.
Ay uso yan dito, ung iba ngang bata dito ay ung bato lang saka yung takip ng coke na pinitpit ang pangaroling nila, ayos din ay, minsan may banda pa puro bata din, hahaha. Bawala nga muna ang ganyan ngayon, lalo na mga bata sila, bawal na bawal lumabas yan dito. Kaya nga, sana talaga last na tong pangyayari na ito, wala na sanang kasunod pa. Salamat salamat, kayi din iingat lagi.
oh, i hadn't even thought about Christmas yet...will be subdued this year. it's a shame...hopefully things will be better next year. honestly, infection rates are rising so fast everywhere...good health for the family and community would be a blessing. also glad to see rusty visited, but not consistently...
Yes, hopefully, it would be a better next year! Yes, we can see it in the news and that from Mums Sister in Leeds they're in full lockdown. Sad but nothing we can do. I say same to you my dear, good health to you and your family! And yes I know lol. He surprised me yesterday! I can't believe it!!! Lol 😂
that's scary to hear...hope your family in Leeds are safe and well. thanks for your concern...same to you! and thanks for the tip!
Why not? Yes, it is pandemic and maybe there is not public Santa. But, kids should have fun. Uncle or father or neighbor can be Santa and come to you house all dressed up like Santa. Dont live your kids without Santa this year. Improvise something
Because we can't go to someone else house, two households can't be mix because of the infection increasing so it could be only for a family affair this Christmas. And yes we always keep them happy, maybe I can dress up they're Dad as Santa this year, haha. Thank you for that suggestion. Cheers! And keep safe x
Will definitely be social distance and other measures
I know, so Santa might still be around for the kids to see him but need to be social distancing. That's sounds better. How's you Paul?
Nice Christmas preparations. Although it seems early to me, it really isn’t. a few days ago, my younger daughter commented that Catholics decorate a tree for Christmas, and we burn a tree for Christmas (of course not the one that is decorated). I know that this comment of mine is not clear to you at the moment, but I will write an article about Christmas customs among the Orthodox.
Yes I'm confused. I will be looking forward to that article so I understand what that it means. I know some don't celebrate Christmas or celebrate it differently. Thank you my dear. I'm excited to know. :)
I never understood the purpose of Santa Claus for what people disguise themselves to take money from children.
That's free. :)
I suggest you dress your husband in Santa.
When I grow up, and me and mine sister though he is real.. I never approve her that..
Most children will be very sad because this year they will not be next to Santa Claus ...
Yes, but maybe I can dress up my husband as Santa this year and we can all have a good laugh 😄
I believe it will be a sad Christmas for many people. And maybe a sad winter altogether. Let's hope for the best. But I have my doubts. Personally, I haven't planned anything as my girlfriend left me recently and I'm not very close to my parents. I may visit my grandfather if that is allowed. If it won't be allowed, maybe I will find comfort knowing that many people share my struggle this year. Even though I wish them that they would not have to.
