Next up: Christmas crackers don’t have anything to do with celebrating Christmas because they’re not mentioned in the bible
Yes, they are used for celebrating Xmas. No, they aren't used for celebrating the Christian version of Xmas. Same as Easter eggs.
What's the point of comparing those to christenings which have absolutely no context outside of Christian rituals? People don't organise secular christenings, do they? (Actually I wouldn't be at all surprised to be told that this is a thing..)
Thread drift alert
yes you can have secular naming ceremonies.
You are completely in control of your own risk by wearing a type of mask that does actually protect you. A well sealed FFP3 mask. Better this, than relying on whatever piece of damp rag that someone else chooses to put over their face.
A properly face-fitted FFP3 mask on a 6 year old... good luck!
yes you can have secular naming ceremonies.
And in case you think TJ is talking about some one-off weird situation rather than something relatively mainstream:

Thanks TJ and poly. Yes, thread drift, but people are so weird! 😀
I'm clearly not going to be trying to put a mask on Sam. He does say he's a "bandit" when he has one on though.
to me to answer the OP even if you didn't have a vulnerable child I would go no where near these people. they are behaving poorly and dangerously
Turn it around, have a nice visit a week later,
I'd give it a couple of weeks since they will have been attending an unmasked gathering.

Naming ceremonies are pretty normal, once got invited to one & encouraged to dress up as elves, pixies, fairies etc, the "god" parents became "fairy" parents and we pranced around the grandparents pick your own orchard strumming guitars and banging tambourines - got a few odd looks from the pyo punters 😀
