The second ruined Christmas coming up

No matter what government leaders decide in the next few days, Christmas for the second year running looks like being ruined wherever you are living in the world. The Omicron variant of Covid-19 is so rapidly transmissable that even if you take every precaution it seems it can still get you. Lockdowns are already occurring in Europe and the UK won't be far behind. Whether it's before or just after Christmas seems a moot point. But the big family plans for the Big Day on December 25th are falling apart. Half measures are not going to work. Somehow the momentum of Omicron has to be reduced or blocked. Whoever thought this time last year that 2021 was going to be as bad as 2020 and probably that 2022 will be as bad as 2021? It's the grimest of times for the whole world. I just hope that there are no political leaders even now plotting to do something outrageously aggressive while the rest of us are locked away in Covid misery. Please take note President Putin and President Xi Zinping and anyone else with expansionist ambitions!
