Just slap your knees, stand up, and say "Welp!"
-
So!
-
Nationally recognised signal
"Welp" can also be replaced by "Well, I suppose..."

Most years, my in-laws come here from Idaho. We have a small apartment and end up with 11 people here for a week. It's a ton of expense, and my bonus usually goes to paying for things for them.
This year, they decided not to come down, and my wife's parents are going to visit friends on Christmas. For the first time in our marriag3, we get a quiet Christmas alone. We're going to drink mulled spiked cider, smoke weed, and watch all our favorite Christmas movies and shows.

That sounds like a dope ass Christmas! Enjoy!

What country is he referencing? because no I do not remember that at all
-
Given the England flag in their name I'm guessing the UK.
I don't think we had any social distancing restrictions during any Christmas but some did come into effect shortly after, I don't think people were allowed to visit. I remember us having a new year's party with our neighbours in the back garden, technically them not allowed to go into our house and having to stay 2 metres from them. Must have been December 2020.

There was a scandal that Boris Johnson held a Christmas party, when he told everyone else to not meet up. Wikipedia tells me, you guys had social restrictions during Christmas in 2020.

At least in Germany during Christmas 2020 you were only allowed to have private parties with a maximum of 5 people, from a maximum of 2 households.
This was however not enforced unless some asshole snitched on your family

I mean you could just ask them to leave politely, firmly, and repeatedly, and if they don't, have the police arrest them for trespassing.
-
Just did that for Thanksgiving, would like to try a different approach for Christmas.
-
Just tell them about your favorite Linux distro and they soon be gone.

I actually don't remember that. Where was this?
-
That's because it didn't happen unless you had a 600 family member reunion or block party in Florida.
-
We had this regulation in Europe but it wasn't enforced unless you made a huge party. It was more an easy way out for people uncomfortable meeting others because of COVID without having to argue about it.
-
It never happened, this is just historical revisionism. Doubly so because the police will remove people from your house whenever you want.
-
It was probably a strongly suggested guideline instead of an actual ban.
-
It happened in Colombia too! Only gatherings of four people, no cars on the streets etc

-
No, that didn't happen, I lived in the most COVID paranoid area of California, and I hadn't heard one paranoid take about any police being used to break up any parties
-
It happened in the UK, though the rules were a little relaxed for Christmas.

Drunk Brits
Coppers having to deal with them
Just another day in the glorious empire

Wow, it's almost as if other places exist and had different responses to covid.
A quick google would reveal that police were used to enforce lock down measures in places such as UK and AUS.
Victoria Police alone gave out 39,985 covid lock down violation orders in the 2.5 years we had lockdown orders in place.
The Engagement party fined we all remember. Idiots.
Including such crimes as, playing video games with 3 people in a lounge room, and having 9 people over for dinner.
-
It absolutely definitely happened in the UK. Not on Christmas day but not long after.
-
Mostly you’d show up on your neighborhood’s Facebook group.
