Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021

[Butty Brennan]

I was thinking about your post and that might be the norm now: on Christmas morning I went for a walk about 9 and in well over half of the houses, maybe about 75% or more there was no sign of life at all. Even in several houses where there are families with young kids, not a sausage.
Would that many people really have a lie in on Christmas morning   I had no idea!

I wonder has it anything to do with covid? Maybe families are taking it easy on Christmas because they are not doiing as much visitng these days??


Our own were reluctantly up close to 11. In saying that they were up quite late the night before.

I got up at about 8 myself becuase I was starving. Made some cereal, but then made a start on the main brekkie at about 10 becuase I couldn't wait any longer 

Mass could be another factor. Most mass goers nowadays are older people, there would be far less families going anymore, and maybe even less again because of covid. That was something that got you up early on Christmas if you wanted it or not.    We weren't allowed open any pressies until we got back from mass in our house.
