Are you

1. Staying home with family that lives there

2. Going to someone else's house or having guests over? Or doing outside Thanksgiving

Plan was #2, but my daughter and I just tested positive for COVID so it looks like our family will be at home.

I didn't think of that added outside Thanksgiving to #2

#1. I just can't justify any reason for #2 and I'm surprised I feel that way.

Plan was to have my sister and mom over, but looking like my sister caught Covid at her school. Waiting on test results

Just moved from California to Arkansas. Was looking forward to a big Thanksgiving with the family in Dallas for the first time in decades. But we've decided not to. I have a single daughter in Dallas who will come up to Arkansas.

Flying a few states away to see my family. Elderly mom only visiting outdoors but also visiting both my brothers and their families. My three kids get to see 6 cousins for first time in 1.5 years.

2. But family is small. Husband, me, HS junior son and TAMU junior son. Then MIL, 78, and my parents, 82.

At our house for Thanksgiving, and my parents will stay overnight.

My MIL is 78, lives alone, we are her only social outlet. We see her 1x/week.

My parents are 82. My dad has early stage parkinson's, and frankly we dot know how many more Thanksgivings we will have with him while he is in good shape. They have visited us several times.

#1. Just too many elderly folks and those with pre-existing conditions in our family to justify it.

Almost half of my family has already had Covid, but one family member still has it and he exposed another family member. I plan to pass on getting together with them because the one that was exposed may not show symptoms by the time Thanksgiving comes around.

Just staying home. By myself.

Apparently any travel outside the local area buys me a 14 days quarantine, and I can't miss that much work/shift that much work load to others. I haven't taken any leave or seen family in over a year.

The Navy/Marine response to this has been absolutely shameful.

I hope you find some others to celebrate with. Also sorry if I'm remembering wrong about your job

Yeah that really sucks. I saw a study the other day, new England Journal of Medicare i believe showing military using protocols to reduce transmission but under the worst of conditions for reducing transmission, boot camp did quite well.

If anyone can follow protocol its the military

There will likely be more suicides from the idiotic policy than COVID deaths considering the military is mostly the lowest risk demographic. But at least they're "doing something"

#2 with multiple extended families. Live life.

IMO strict, disciplined groups like the military, or even football teams are safer than the rest of us. Then you consider the low risk for being in shape and young. ..

They're at lower risk because they're young and healthy. The rest is the illusion of control

2. Six adult friends all with the military in Germany.

Our unit calls ourselves "the wolves" ... literally meaning that we refuse to live like sheep.

Just my wife and kids. My parents are at risk and mother in law has a recent health issue.

Sister lives in Dallas and her in laws have health issues as well.

We see the old folks in our lives regularly so choosing to be more carefully to not expose them. Weather permitting we are doing an outdoor get together with my parents weekend after Thanksgiving

Celebrating with six family members at our place in western NC. Wife and I drove here yesterday. Mom, Brother and SIL driving in Monday. Son flying in from Dallas (he will take a COVID test this week just to make sure he's not positive - no reason to think he is, except lots of cases in Dallas and he works in an office every day with others)

Weather allowing... we'll have an outdoor Thanksgiving with 10 people. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll regroup and get together another day.

We, too, are living freely and are not sheep. We make the decisions that are appropriate for our family based on the knowledge we have of current situations. We aren't bound by the calendar and know that we can see our people on another day even though the calendar and the government have designated the fourth Thursday of November as the official day for Thanksgiving.
