I guess it's all in how you see it. I don't see them as threats. I see them as trying to mitigate the spread of a pandemic. In my area, everything is open, all the stores, restaurants and from what I can tell, the churches. However, I don't participate and neither do most of the people I know because they listen to the medical experts and science and realize that Covid isn't political. It's just going to do what it does until it doesn't have hosts anymore. I'm not afraid. I'm responsible. I could have celebrated Thanksgiving with a number of people this year, but we all decided the possibility of contracting this virus wasn't worth the risk.

Which "fear peddlers" are you referring to?

Those who say Biden will "cancel" Christmas, and it would be a good idea to send in armed gunmen dressed as Santa, or "fear peddlers" who continue to warn that we are in a COVID spike and this isn't a good time for large extended family gatherings?

Which ones, exactly, are you calling disgusting?

Sheesh no one’s gonna break into your house and tell you to stop celebrating Christmas and submit yourself to the dark lord of Cthulhu. They just want you to be careful so grandma doesn’t die.

This grandma of 8 grandchildren has a very compromised immune system, caught COVID back in late January/early February of last year, and survived. I don't fear Cthulhu. I'm a rare creature... a Conservative who doesn't believe in God and who upholds the rights of gay people to be married. Neither side knows how to deal with me, LOL!

Can you suggest how they will cancel it?

What is Christmas to you?

I dont go to church, I'm agnostic, I dont believe in Santa Claus and cant remember the last time I went into a mall, but Christmas is different things to different people and I don't dare to be arrogant enough to define it for others.

They won't "cancel" Christmas, just tell people not to gather and then they will go and do the opposite of what they just preached.
