anyone else having an attempted outdoor christmas day? gazebo type?

[Skipsurvey]

Due to worries about meeting dm, we are going to have plenty of ventilation

Ohh it’s -1 here at the moment, it’s a beautiful crisp morning but a tad cold 🥶
Plenty of blankets and hot water bottles/ heated throws and it would be ok for a while though. Enjoy

It hit 45 in the shade here today so we all ate inside with the aircon on full tilt. The kids ran outside often to jump on the trampoline with the sprinkler on underneath to cool down.
Way too hot here for an outside Christmas.🥵

Where are you Nittersing?

We were planning to do this in grandparents' garden, before Tier 4 announced (we are South East)

are you not seeing yoru grandparents at all now @anappleadaykeeps?

I'm South East of Perth in Australia :)

A summer Christmas - bet that's amazing!

Well we don't really have much of a winter here. It doesn't snow at all. I'd prefer something a bit cooler than 45 degrees for Christmas day though. It's just too hot.

My neighbours have set up a gazebo in the back garden (tier 2). Can't say I'd be keen though, it's bitterly cold today!

I met DD in our town square on a bench and we exchanged presents; it was better than nothing and I feel better than for not having seen her.

Yes, 45 degrees would be a bit much for me. I'm in Yorkshire and I think the hottest it's ever been here recently in summer was 38 degrees and I practically melted! I am middle-aged and subject to hot flushes though .

It looks as though I will be sharing lunch with 8 others out on the freezing patio. I cannot count the number of layers I have put on!
