Tiers 1-3 Christmas

[Felyne]

So as long as you are not tier 4 you can meet up on Christmas Day only. Anyone going to bother traveling far?
Spend all morning stuck in traffic, then spend your journey home avoiding drunk drivers who can't stay the night where they went but overdid it because "it's Christmas and this years been shit. One more won't hurt will it".
I'm in tier 4 so we are stuck anyway. My kids are gutted they can't see their cousins. That would have been a 70 mile trip. I'm wondering whether we would have gone for just a day (if we could.)

If it hadn't been Lincolnshire- London, I would have happily done the 2.5hrs each way. I was doing it on Boxing Day. I've done it before this year. It's worth it to be with family.

My Mum is in our bubble all the time as she is 80 and lives alone, and this has been the case since March. We are going to Midnight Mass if it's still on, in her town, then I'm bringing her back to mine til the Tuesday, but she can stay longer if she wants. She's Tier 2, and we are Tier 1.

Nope too far. Technically it is possible in a day, I have done it (slightly further) for work stuff, but it is a long day and a before 6am start.

OP That is a salient point about drinking and driving.

When I was 26 and couldn't travel, my family drove down to see me from North Yorkshire to Kent for the day. They left at 5am arrived at 10am and left again at 7pm after a fabulous day. One of the best Christmases ever, and my uncle's last in fact, as he died of cancer the following year. Of course it's doable. It just depends how much you want to.
