Just one gathering, and that's it.

Same. We saw local grandparents carefully over the summer; would be comfortable seeing them at Thanksgiving if conditions hold. But the other grandparents, who live out of state, are already planning to miss Christmas with us.

Something tells me your "careful" summer visit won't really work at Thanksgiving. You planning to eat dinner outside on the patio in November?

I can see that working fine, actually. Modified menu, served at 2 or 3 pm on the screened porch.

DP. We're already looking at a big tent with net rain walls and a heater. We used a tent for a small wedding reception in August for a cousin so we'll try a bigger tent in November for a larger group. Where there is a will there is a way. All kids and grandkids will wear masks. Grandparents and elders will go maskless. I think we're going to put the grandparents and elders at a "head table" perhaps even on a dais.

Something tells me the “local” grandparents are her parents and she doesn’t GAF about her inlaws!

I cancelled family travel for this year last year during the holidays, I’m exhausted.

It’s been a pretty nice break overall.

Well, duh.

Nobody should be having family gatherings during a pandemic.

I really don't get people who think this is going to get any better before the vaccine is widely distributed. It's going to be in 2021, people. Let go of your 2020 Thanksgiving and Christmas.

And Halloween, don't forget to let go of that too!

Why will the grandparents and elders be massless?
