We're much the same over here in Australia...

My state, Queensland, has been very good with the virus! Hardly any outbreaks out all, life was normal, everything was open, no masks necessary. But then just a week ago the government opened up our state up to the rest of the country... and now we're getting so many cases of the virus, need to wear masks, can only enter certain shops and things if you can prove you're vaccinated...

Just in time for christmas! 🎅🎄

My christmas plans haven't been affected at least. Still plan making lots of yummy foods and seeing friends and having drinks and a good time. Unless they restrict gathering sizes in the next week... ☹️

(Some of those gingerbread shapes look interesting!!! 😅😂)
