POLL: Will you follow Dr. Bonnie Henry’s health orders and keep Christmas this year small and cozy?

There was some hope B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer would lift health orders before Christmas but that was dashed earlier this week.

Dr. Bonnie Henry extended the conditions of B.C.'s new lockdown due to a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases to Jan. 8, 2021, meaning her expectation is everyone is going to have a small and cozy holiday this year without friends and family.

Throughout the pandemic so far, British Columbians have largely followed her orders, but after nine months and with Christmas coming up, we're curious if you're still on board.

Will you be following Dr. Henry's health orders and keeping Christmas this year small and cozy?
