Language AND the money. I've read that about 30% of the population in general is not going along with the narrative. I may be late to post this, but I've told everyone I know that I'm not doing Christmas this year. I've told them it's specifically because of the vaccine mandates. Those people, mainly my family, are angry at me anyway for not blindly following the narrative, so they're not going to buy Christmas presents for me either. Now maybe I'm the only person doing this, but if a certain percentage did the same, it could make a huge economic dent. It's not just me not buying anything for Christmas, but the people who got their vaccines who are mad at me are not buying presents for me. Even if 1/3 of the 30% did what I'm doing, that could make a huge impact in the economy. Just a thought.
Brilliant. I didn't do that, but my friends and loved ones are well aware that they may never see me again as long as they live because I will NOT play along with testing, masking and getting shot up for the privilege to travel or do anything else. Period. (some friends and family are disappointed, but others respect the fact that I will stand on my principles until the end)
Same. I live abroad and I made sure to visit as many family as would see me this summer and made peace with the fact that I may never see them again if things get nuts. Even if I could bring myself to give in, I would never allow that for my kids, so then there's no point as I want them to come along as well. The American side can travel to see me as long as their vax is valid, but I have drawn a line in the sand.
I like the idea but I’m doing just the opposite. I’m making Christmas everything it should be. (My three kids thank me). We are going to Christmas parties, going caroling, etc. it’s been refreshing.
This is what you get when politicians scapegoat. I want to be all "everyone is welcome!" but the truth is they don't even want to come. So we are de facto segregating without even meaning to. The birds of a feather thing is just human nature I'm afraid and apparently we need real moral leadership to overcome it. Hmm my comment was posted twice and then when I deleted one they both disappeared! Here it is again...
I love your thought process. though I am sorry for the family drama dg. it's no fun. you might be better off and you might be feeling allright, but it's still a betrayal that hurts.

Maybe you gave yourself the greatest gift?
And you know, if now you buy your own presents yourself, you always get what you want !
this!

Parties here have become unjabbed parties. A shame for those that were hoping to be invited but did not invite me because...
