[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds like great way for MIL to get COVID with no benefit to her. They aren’t even her relatives!

Go with a different plan. How far away are the siblings? Ideally they’d rapid test and then go to see her for half an hour or so.[/quote]

SIL1 and family 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.

SIL2 and child around 30 minutes, maybe a longer depending on traffic.

DH and I, between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on traffic.

SIL1 really wants MIL with her.[/quote]

Ok no. She should not go to the huge holiday super spreader with relatives who aren’t even hers!

One sibling should visit Christmas Eve. Then one Christmas morning. Then one Christmas afternoon. Then another the day after.

I think you’re going to need to speak up and volunteer to go there on Christmas so that she’s not alone on Christmas and said that she doesn’t go to this large party. Unless you’re OK with her getting flu or Covid just to hang out with people who aren’t even her relatives[/quote]
