Ironically, my family (spouse+kids) had discovered a year or two before the pandemic that the Xmas that works for us is to be quietly at home together, and no large gatherings or elaborate plans. So we are the weirdos for whom a lockdown Xmas makes not much difference.
It's the getting together in small groups throughout the year that we're finding much harder to do these days (travel, accom, ensuring everyone feels safe, calling things off because someone's caught covid, etc etc).
Getting my teenage child vaccinated has taken a huge weight off my mind. Now if only they'll roll it out to 5-11yos so the other child can get vaccinated before they catch it at school (which seems like it will inevitably happen sooner or later).
