Christmas Dinner and Pandemic 


My wife and I reside in a condo, and 
next-door neighbors, Jackie and Tom,
are a few years older than us similar in age difference 
so that that will make Tom 83 and Jackie 80.
Tom with a history of CABG, stroke, and pacemaker suffers
from chronic CHF, and Jackie with a history of breast cancer,
knee replacement and chronic rheumatoid arthritis receives
monthly IV infusion of treatment.
Our daughter had our Christmas Dinner delivered by a gourmet restaurant 
and Uber service, and our three children, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
5 grandchildren are to be on Zoom in the early evening.

On Christmas Eve our family sang Christmas Carol on Zoom with the help of the lyrics

printed out ahead of time.
Our neighbors' daughter, son-in-law, and one grandson who live in
Lake Tahoe, 500 miles away from us drove all the way with their Christmas Dinner for their parents

in the back of their car. They decided not to enter
their parents' condo, instead set up a dinner table, etc, on the driveway
outside the garage. They all wear masks. Then they all went to the beach.
Jackie and Tom are having their Christmas Dinner all by themselves.
Our daughter ordered enough food for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Dinners

so my wife and I feel very contented by having enough food around.
The weather is gorgeous, sunny, high 70 degrees.
Yet California like the rest of the country is struggling in the darkness of
ignorance not knowing exactly when this Pandemic will end.
I thought I would describe on paper what this year
Christmas Dinner looks like for a record.
