Open the windows every hour, to air the rooms.
Only one person serves the drinks (no passing the bottle)
Only one person hands out the presents
No touching the “finger food”… use cocktail sticks or similar
Elderly or At Risk… sit at the end of the table with 2 empty chairs between each of them and between them and other guests.
No kissing/hugging
Keep well distanced
Masks worn except at table
Use the Tous anti Covid app
I’ve also read that families could bring and eat their own nibbles… so no risk of cross-contamination .
also suggested to keep the time spent at table … to a minimum … and, whatever, make sure everyone is seated well apart from each other, spread throughout the rooms if necessary…
How would tous anti-covid help in this particular circumstance? It’s only a few hours, so people are unlikely to leave before the pudding to self isolate if they receive an alert?
Only four of us this year - friends from the UK, They have a home round corner that we look after when they are not here,
I managed to grab one of the last Dinde at Carrefour the other day. Any hints on what to do with it?
I was thinking of mixing Cajun spice (with a hint of chilli powder) with butter and slathered it over and under the skin with half an orange, rosemary, thyme and garlic up its…internal area
Yes I hope people are using it as a matter of course. But it was specifically listed on your picture of what to do at Christmas dinner…and that’s one moment when I hope people are not looking at their phones!
Thanks for this Stella, some of our friends seem to have trouble understanding the basics (and strangely equate a party of 8 as a party of 6). Might pass this infographic on to them for the fun of it, for when then do have their party (to which we will not be going).
It sits in your phone, and if you open it it will tell you whether you have been in any high risk places, or in contact with someone since diagnosed positive. However I would hope people you share a christmas meal with would actually tell you themselves if they came down with covid and not rely on an app. I have mine turned off most of the time, and only turn it on when I go somewhere busy.
Family have now decided, MIL just been on the phone organising everyone: “c’est pas interdit donc merde, on fait comme d’hab !” … 18 around the table but we’ve insisted that we skip the apéro and that the other 12, who normally comme later for pudding and coffee, don’t as 30 might be pushing it this year
