2020 has been a sucky enough year without going into reruns. I feel like we've seen this movie before when "experts" tried to ruin Thanksgiving. Celebrating with family is old and busted. Staying at home in fear is the new hotness. Never mind that the virus "surge" we expected to see post-Thanksgiving never came. It will totally come this time. The experts are super-serious! Just ask Anthony Fauci. He's giving up Christmas, so you should too.

[Our kids] are not going to come home … That's painful. We don't like that. But that's just one of the things you're going to have to accept as we go through this unprecedented challenging time.

I don't have to accept sh*t because a bureaucrat tells me to. Neither do you. No matter how much the media lectures us otherwise. Also, while Fauci is okay giving up his family, other elderly would make a different decision. If they were allowed to.

Stay at home as much as you can, keep your interactions to the extent possible to members of the same household. This cannot be business as usual this Christmas ...

It absolutely can.

... because we're already in a very difficult situation, and we're going to make it worse, if we don't do something about it.

He then said with the vaccine, we should be back to normal next year. Only the media has already started saying no back to normal even with a vaccine. Again, there go those goalposts being moved again. What happens if we wait until next year, Fauci says the year after that? Do we get to punch him in the face? Shove his head in a toilet? Make Fauci our Christmas tree topper the hard way? I want to know what the consequences are if we're lied to again. Because again, every time you look around, the goalposts are somewhere else.

People are free to do what they want for the holidays. Take all the precautions they feel they need to. I've been doing so since March when I bought my family masks even though the experts said don't wear masks. Here's the thing, though. There's a lot of gift-giving. The most valuable gift of all is time. We aren't given a lot of it, and we don't get it back if we don't use it. Or worse, waste it. You have no way of knowing if your family, friends, or other loved ones will even be here next Christmas. Vaccine or no vaccine. Personally, I won't be wasting the time I'm given with them now. The "experts" can all choke on a stale fruitcake if they say otherwise.
