I am trying to put together my Christmas Eve/Christmas Day schedule – which is never an easy thing. 

Typically, the O’Reilly household has a traditional Christmas. We normally go to mass on Christmas Eve, have a nice dinner, then open the gifts Christmas morning. 

This year is a bit different. Nobody can fly and everyone is scared to go to church. I’m not going to force anyone to go to church.

I don’t even want any gifts this year. There isn’t anything I want. I’m not a materialistic guy anyway – so I ask people to make a donation in my name to any noble cause they like.  

Tons of people are sending me cookies and brownies – which as you know, with my blood sugar, I can’t eat. So, I must confess, I am re-gifting some of it to people who don’t have much. 

So, as you can tell, this Christmas is different. It’s a Covid Christmas. Try not to get involved with any big parties, it’s just not worth it.

Have a nice Christmas, but a calm Christmas. No arguing. I hope you all have a nice Christmas.
