There's a little over a week to go. I say, make everybody in the house stay home from work, school, hospital (poor dear Karen) so that there is next to no contact with the outside world. It's the only way. Although it'll make procuring Christmas dinner provisions a tad tricky. Good luck, I do hope you are all fighting fit for Christmas (well... ok, not fighting).Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600427311498297800noreply@blogger.com
