COVID Christmas: We Must Survive It Too

The village is the favourite destination and that is where most of us will be headed. For those that do not manage to get to the village covid provides the perfect excuse. Some of us will be banking on the Covid task Team to close the zones just so we do not have to justify to anyone the reason why we have not been able to make it to the village. Telling people you do not have money to go to the village during the Christmas holidays is just not a part of the script.
