How was your Christmas? One of the things I enjoyed this holiday season was the podcast Christmas Countdown Show.  The show is a fun escape for people like me who really enjoy Christmas Time. Eric and Danny the hosts talked about their favorite Christmas movies, music, TV shows, foods, and more.   

Our Christmas took a turn when youngest child tested positive for Covid. Early in the week one of her best friends tested positive, and so our daughter tested negative for a few days, but then on Christmas Eve, she got a bad present--a positive Covid test.  Because we knew she had been exposed, she'd been quarantining since Tuesday night in her room. She had a cough but we had all been hoping it was a cold. Thank goodness we were able to quarantine her before she had that positive test.  If we hadn't we might all have Covid now-- and could have exposed other people

And so we facedtime her in the morning for the present opening. We have the windows cracked and she has a designated bathroom and paper plates and plastic wear and lot of water and other fluids. The bummer of it all is that she got her booster shot last Friday and within a couple days she was exposed via someone who caught Covid from someone else who wasn't vaccinated--the booster didn't have time to boost!  The rest of us got our booster shot in November--she didn't because they weren't available to 16-17 year olds.

So far everyone else is Covid free and hopefully the isolation and the booster works and on New Years Eve we can celebrate the end of her isolation together. 

How was your Christmas? I hope you had a nice one!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that! And on Christmas Eve no less (getting the result). I hope you all stay Covid- free and that her course is short and mild. That is such a bummer about the timing!

That podcast does sound fun. Take care and merry Christmas (in spite of the circumstances)!

Oh, so sorry about your daughter's COVID! The people who don't get vaccinated do put us all at risk.

Enjoy the upcoming week, and Happy New Year! Stay safe.

I'm so sorry about your daughter being positive for Covid. I hope everyone else stays Covid free.

I'm sorry about the covid. That's why we try not to go out now unless necessary and wear masks if we do. I got us N95 masks now. I hope the rest of you stay well and enjoy your holiday. Best wishes for the New Year!

Oh my goodness, you definitely won't forget this Christmas! I hope you all stay virus-free and that your daughter recovers quickly! Have a great 2022.

So sorry to hear your daughter tested positive, but kudos to you for how you handled it. Quarantining from the start was so smart. Definitely a Christmas none of you will forget!

The frustrating thing about the whole pandemic is people who have vaccines available to them, but who refuse to get vaccinated. These folks pass it on indefinitely. I am glad the whole family did not get the virus.

Merry Christmas!

So sorry to hear about your daughter. Glad she isn't having too serious a bout with this terrible virus, but too bad it put a damper on your Christmas. Stay safe and healthy.

Katherine P said...

Oh no! So sorry to hear about your daughter but I hope her case is asymptomic or very minimal. I'm glad you were able to isolate and hopefully everyone else stays healthy. This is definitely a Christmas you won't forget!

Thanks so much for the kind words on my post. It feels kind of silly sometimes to hate the outward signs of him being sick as much as I do so I really appreciate you understanding.
