I was at rug camp, now that explains it.<br />Anyway, I'm right there with you with the mom and pop stores, restaurants and other businesses having to shut down and its a shame. There are only 3 people to whom I give gifts; my grandson, son and sweet DIL. Each will receive something small and useful but this year all will get money since that seems to be what they each need this year. That way they can buy what they want for themselves during post holiday sales or use it for bills. Must say I'll be happy to move out of 2020 and pray next year will be better.Saundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442552781415793671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-57854638176270745252020-12-02T08:07:41.410-08:002020-12-02T08:07:41.410-08:00Just stopped by to say hello.

The provincial government here is wrestling with the decision over whether to enact further stay-at-home measures to protect us from the increasing Covid numbers or try to stay the course to hopefully allow the small businesses to continue to hang on. Many of them are just managing to stay afloat after the last closures and having to close again will spell the end. It's difficult no matter what happens. Christmas this year will be so different for everyone but it's to be hoped that people will agree with the need to keep our distance.<br />As for the number of days til Christmas - this year, for the first time in my life, I am almost done already. That's only because the post office is pleading with people to mail early. <br />I do try to sell my landscapes on my blog but it's a hard go. People tell me I should put them in galleries but the cost for that is prohibitive I've found...not only to enter the work, but also the commissions they take off the top. I'm not complaining because I know they have to make a living too.

So many businesses shutting down. I have worried about how families are keeping themselves with enough money to keep their homes and food on the table. Christmas shopping will be different too. We are on a high level of Covid and as we drive through our town...things just aren't looking to be improving anytime soon. I try to do our part by shopping in person at our local stores when I can. Praying and caring for all those around us near and far.
