Why Christmas Can't Be Cancelled

Seems like Christmas may be cancelled is the latest thing as the Co2 shortage means turkeys may be in short supply and the lack of HGV drivers mean the toys may not be on the shop shelves.
As a vegetarian, the lack of dead fowl stinking up the supermarket shelves will have no effect on me and with children who will no longer care if Santa brings a LOL Surprise Dance Dance Dance Doll that won't bother me either.
If you are the sort of person who will throw your hands up in the air and cancel Christmas because you can't have any other type of meat on Christmas Day or because your darling child will be visiting therapists in their adult years because of the trauma that they never unwrapped a Barbie Dreamhouse, then i think your problems run deeper than just a bit of a lean Christmas this year.     
To me Christmas is all about the build up, not the day so it's the Christmas movies, the tree, the songs, the way everything glitters, the Carols, the TV Specials, the drinking, the cards, the decorations, the mince pies and i will even enjoy going to watch the Grandson's Nursery Nativity play this year, the day itself will pass in a blur of food and alcohol and then waking up the next day with a hangover and the realisation that it is all over until next year.
To some its a religious thing, apart from being played by a doll in a manger at the Nativity Play, the baby Jesus plays no part in it for me so but each to their own but Christmas is so much more than Turkey and the right present and with the way things are heading, Coronavirus may well play a very big part in what we can and can't do anyway so stop worrying and shove a mince pie in your gob, Christmas won't be cancelled whatever happens.
