To think mumsnet will shrivel up and die

[Hobnobswantshernameback]

Without all the usual Christmas threads
I mean....what will people find to moan about

Oh don't you worry your pretty little head. There will be a feast of complaints about people not wearing masks, breaking lockdown, daring to cough in public. Mumsnet will be on fire

The complaints about lockdown and what’s ‘aloud’ are where it’s at now.

There's always parking

No moaning about the relatives out staying their welcome, no complaining about MIL catering skills, no whinging about DH getting pissed before stuffing the turkey

It'll be a barren wasteland here I tell you

Moansnet?

Maybe we could request a special board where people can whinge to their Hearts content called moansnet

@Sparklingbrook yes, there's alot of those ones

Let's not forget the hefty dollop of ageism we can surely expect.

It'll be interesting to see how quickly the "Its not fair I can't have my family over at Xmas" threads Start
Given that most years on here it's "I'm sick of my family visiting every single Xmas and just want to be at home with my little family" threads that seem to dominate
Be careful what you wish for eh

There will be a lot of ones saying. Is it just me or is it not the same this year. Or AIBU to demand christmas is done this way every year it's so peaceful

I do think there's room for a Coronavirus AIBU topic. Get some proper AIBUs then if you got rid of the CV ones.

Oh yes everyone who usually hates seeing family over Christmas will suddenly be full of rage at not being able to do this.

I suppose the moaning about people's gift choices will still have plenty of mileage

Yanbu. 🎅
There'll be peace and harmony.

Nah, the lockdown threads will carry us through perfectly well, don't worry about it.

No New Year's Eve complete shit show . It won't be the same

Oh lord
Forgot about New Year's Eve
Maybe we could ask HQ for a repeat to spice things up a bit

Endless threads asking 'should I report my neighbours' and berating people for having a little sit down on a bench will be a pleasing diversion for many.

all Cheeseandlobster you forgot to add bashing the government and mainly Boris for lockdowns.

There'll be plenty of teacher bashing opportunities with the schools staying open.

Don't worry about MN. Remember that nature abhors a vacuum...

Wonder if there'll be Xmas zoom call angst

Don't worry.

The explosion of outrage when thank you gifts for teachers are mentioned will be visible from outer space.

You HAVE to be kidding.

Christmas & Covid will keep the threads on repeat

There will be present postage threads, I'm calling it.

'The queue at the Post Office is too long, everyone has boxes and I only have one jiffy bag, AIBU to think they should all get out the way and let me go first?'

'DH thinks the postage cost should count towards the gift budget and I think he's stingy, who is right?'

'We sent parcels to Nieces and Nephews and the parents didn't send our DC anything in return, just a cheque, AIBU to think this is impersonal and shows no thought?'

Oh lord
There's a whole world of "my neighbour popped a Xmas card through my letterbox...is she trying to murder me with covid...does she not know there's a pandemic going on"
Type threads just waiting to explode

Oh and

" will we need to quarantine any presents that Santa drops down the chimney and submerge them in bleach for a week to make them safe"

Type threads
