No social distancing. No masks. No fucks given.

We don’t really do Covid here, but we did Chsitmas and New Years just fine. There was ice skating rinks, funnel cakes, fireworks, trolley rides, games, rooftop Santa, turkey legs, fire pits, a live band, shopping, and fireworks. So many people. The entire down town was packed out and standing room only every night. It’s been a nightly thing for the entire last month.

And you know what? Fucking hell we are taking in the money. We haven’t lost a single storefront during Covid. You see, the state line is just an hour away. Across that imaginary line it’s like East Germany. Our cops directed traffic this weekend while their cops played plague Karen. So their people come to our town instead of quartering their public officials.

Why?

Lol, one of my coworkers was Santa but it was a shift gig. This has been a month long Christmas village like event. So they do a nightly show. Get the photos taken and then around 8 they stop the music and do a little play up on the roof so that people in the square can see it. My neighbor was in charge of gathering enough teenagers to cover the nightly nativity scene. It’s been a good year for this event. It was still pretty new but all the outside money coming has made sure it’ll happen next year. Not as much direct revenue for the city but sale tax revenues were great.
