It was a subdued Christmas

Every Christmas I have been throwing parties for the less privileged but this year due to the pandemic I could not do it. There were no visitors on the day as normally neighbours exchange visits with sweets. The only thing I did was to visit the Old Age Home and gift them with a TV. I felt nice to spend time there and they sang some carols. There was music too as I had gift them with a music system last year We had tea together

That's so very compassionate of you! Glad you had a very nice Christmas anyway. Mine was quiet with my tv. Can't gather yet.

They are there without their family and anything that will keep them occupied I suppose is welcome.

I liked throwing a party each year but this time it was just this, spending a few minutes with them

That was a very kind thing to do. I'm sure the old folks will love having a new TV.

@allknowing Yes, it is. It isn't much of a life for them.

That’s really a nice thing to do. The TV would keep them entertained. I hope they won’t fight with the remote control

It was a nice thing for you to do. I usually have a houseful of neighbors, family, and friends. Most of whom would be alone on Christmas. This year it was just us.
