nice little vlog from someone who is alone for christmas, ''quarantine christmas''

[Ammi]

...so...everything has really already been very perfectly said by others, so it leaves very little to say...

...it’s often said that we wish it could be Christmas every day...?...and with everything closed down around us because they’ve been ‘non essential’, it’s shown a little aspect of how Christmas everyday would feel and it hasn’t been hugely great...it’s been hard getting through this year because when we do have the types of challenging times that we’ve had and the highs and lows that we’ve had...what’s given us emotional strength is our support group around us of closest family, of dearest friendships and extended families etc...and so much of those things have been restricted for so much of 2020...but when something isn’t there, as corny as it sounds, it does then make us realise and appreciate what is there and how treasured things are...and what has been there are our online friendships and bonds with the extended family that many of us feel in TiBB...to be able to offload whatever we’ve so needed to offload...to scream and to shout at times and to be Karen’s and gammons etc..?...is also a very essential balance in life and a balance that the forum has still given us...we are very diverse, we are very different and oh my, we can be difficult......but through our frustrations, this year more than any other, I think....TiBB bonds and friendships are what we’ve felt most and at the times that we’ve so needed them the most...

...anyways, that’s all, really...I wish you all the most splendid Christmas you’re able to have.....and I know for some of you, because of personal stuff and sadnesses, it’s going to be a very difficult time as well...there is no easy way to get through but we somehow do and find our own way and our hearts are always with you.....

...I wish you all a much less restricting 2021 with many highlights and very few low lights and I wish you all a safe journey through to next Christmas with all of your loved ones...more than anything I wish us all and all the people we love to be here the same time, the same place etc, next year...

...enjoy your days, TiBB people .....and just a few things to post...

............

...another rhyme..(...yes sorry...)...well it’s more of a song actually, changing the lyrics of My Favourite things to some of 2020 TiBB most talked about things...

Fetching Bolt Cutters and Brexiting Britons
Harry and Meghan’s royal duties, good riddance
Nicola craves freedom for her highland flings
These are a few of TiBB talked about things...

Trans folk and JK not finding a neutral
Marcus campaigning to feed every pupil
Donald denying all loss and downswings
These are a few of TiBB talked about things...

Karen’s and gammons, Tier 3 Birthday bashes
Megs and Harry again and their royal clashes
Sir Tom Moore and his iconic hamstrings
These are a few of TiBB talked about things...

Johnny’s court fight
Katie Hopkins
When we’re feeling mad
We’ll log onto TiBB and we’ll rant and we’ll whinge
And then we don’t feel so bad

Dear Greta Thunberg and Rebellion sit-ins
Tiger’s true King and that bitch, Carole Baskin
Dom’s drive to the castle to test his eye stings
These are a few of TiBB talked about things...

Hands, face and space and mask wearing refusals
Trump’s votings and fraudings get no Court approvals
To White House walls, Melania still clings
These are a few of our talked about things...

Protests and looting, Kenosha street clashes
Brexit no deals and economy crashes
Celebs in Welsh castles, Giovanni wins
These are a few of our talked about things...

Johnny’s court fight
Katie Hopkins
When we’re feeling mad
We’ll log onto TiBB and we’ll rant and we’ll whinge
And then we don’t feel so bad


.................

...something Italian for Vanessa...

Buon Natale a te, Vanessa ... xxx ...

...........

...for Kate, thank you for making the advent calendar great again and for doing the same with so many activities and games...to try to make it special for everyone...I was thinking next year, if we all ask to keep our empty vaccine vials ...?...you could do a ‘best Christmas decoration’ game, Kate...?...thank you, thank you always for all of the energy and time you give us all.....



........

...and the lyrics of this couldn’t be more perfect this Christmas, more than any other...

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more...

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now...
