It would appear the mutant virus successfully became the Grinch that tried to take away our holiday fun, and like many people I had to break it to my family that I wouldn’t be listening to Driving Home for Christmas on the radio in the rental on my way from Heathrow airport this year.
But we are all finding ways to hang onto something of the festive season’s cheer: Hong Kong’s Central district was buzzing with people buying gifts last week, and online seafood and swanky meat deliveries are selling out fast. It’s clear we’re not letting this nasty coronavirus bug stand in the way of the tradition of exchanging presents and stuffing ourselves silly, even if we may not always be in the company of those we originally planned to do it with.
So, what can an over-lunched lady or gentleman do to walk it off this year? And who can we hang out with in groups of more than just two?
