Yes, it is.

Man wearing FFP3 mask while Christmas shopping.
These masks don't say “I'm sick.”
They say “I won't let you down.”

This is the best song I've ever written.
Christmas Fever (Will This Be The Last Year That You Believe?)
Happy Christmas to everyone who still wears a mask.

There are many Christmas songs, but this is "The" Christmas song.
There's a reason for that.
CC musicians are getting together for a Christmas event today. Get in touch if you want to join us. #ChristmasFever #YuleMasking
The Christmas Song (Nat King Cole cover)
The BA.3.2.* COVID variant is nicknamed "Cicada". It's been underground for a while.
Masks stop it, but maths is my prime concern. We must reduce transmission, so it has limited opportunity to mutate further.

I'm still playing lots of Christmas songs in December!
But I'm not going to spend ages video-editing and posting to multiple platforms.
If it worked, then it worked.
It's time to try something else.

Shame.
I'm not making a musical advent calendar this year.
I did it for 3 years. I don't need to do it again.
A little🧵about wearing a mask, and shame.

In the USA, I suggest starting with a 3M Aura.
If you search the hashtag #YuleMasking I played a lot of Christmas songs in a lot of different masks.

Anyway, I've finished my Christmas shopping. I won't need to mask for several days.
We’re ready for Christmas.

I have grudging respect for those who so effectively undermined masking, so people would spend more money in shops & restaurants.
No, I didn't see anyone else wearing one of these.

Living in the UK, this is not a song I'm familiar with. I tried this version with an alternative tune a few weeks before recording the final version.

Boots sell masks marked “FFP2” like this one. Most are white.
They are “good enough”. You can get better masks, but you will have to get them online. Hopefully delivery will be quick.
But my advice is “get something right now”.

All the masks I'm showcasing in December are better than the cloth and paper masks most people tried before.

I wore these HARD FFP2 masks in 2021.
The masks I wear now are more comfortable, more hard-wearing, and more protective, as well as being easier to teach in.
