If you were invited to a house party would you go?

A bit of covid rule breaking going on round here over Christmas.
I'm avoiding any parties but I do miss them

No, but the answer would have been no pre covid as well.

@scentedgeranium

No But I'm curious, what tier is this?

Somewhere in Scotland I am going to guess.

No, my local hospital have just announced they're full and have no spare beds. People should be following the rules, otherwise things will only get worse.

No, if I wanted to stand in someone's kitchen clutching a glass of lukewarm mulled wine and discussing COVID (at least it won't be house prices!) then I can do it at home!

No because i’m not a selfish arsehole

Not a chance.

I want to see my family at Christmas and don't want to put them at risk catching COVID at a party

No no no

Yes.

We are still having a Boxing Day party. We normally have a load of people and it's definitely going to be much quieter. Just our bubble ( Me, my 2 sisters, our kids) and 2 friends. I'm also having a few other friends around in the garden over Xmas as we are lucky enough to have a gazebo that is lit and has a log burner. So drinks, roasting marshmallows etc with lots of blankets.

I absolutely wouldn't, but God I would want to

No, I know too many people dead or with long covid and may lose another one soon so will wait till summer, however much I desperately miss company.

No because I’m not a fucking selfish rule breaker.

No. I'm not fussed about parties anyway tbh. I prefer to spend Christmas and New Year with extended family, but that's not happening either. We are having one family of neighbours round for Christmas Eve lunch and that's it.

No

Yes. I’m fully prepared to be moaned at by the sheep

Why are people so rude about this

I dont give a shit what you do

But not going to a rule breaking party doesn’t make anyone a sheep, well no more than people GOING to the parties...cos their friends are. Which actually now i think about it seems a bit sheep like

No because I’m not selfish.

And because I realise that my choice to do something like that could have horrible consequences for anyone I have to come into contact with.

It’s one Christmas. It’s going to be different but we just have to make the most of it.

We aren't sheep, but neither are we selfish wolves

Oh dont say that...wolves are cool

We don’t want people thinking they a majestic wolves just cos sticking to a no parties rule is hard for them 😀

No - but I can't imagine anyone I know organising a party anyway .

But if a friend invited me round to a very small get together outside with some kind of heaters and/ or gazebo I would probably go.

I prefer not to normally, currently - not a chance.

Same

No. We are so close to getting the vaccine rolled out across the country.

I don't agree with how the lockdowns/tiers have been implemented or the economic damage they have caused. However, what's done is done and recklessly engaging in illegal activities which could spread the virus further within vulnerable groups is just needless selfishness at this point.

No and I’d be rethinking friendships with anyone who was hosting I.e. accepted an invite to such an event.

There are close family members I haven't seen in fucking ages, and we've agreed it's not worth the risk to meet up for Christmas even though it's technically allowed. No way am I going to anyone else's house.

No
