[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TL:DR.  At this stage in the game, my experience is that people who refuse to vax are also the ones who make no other efforts to stay safe - be it masking, social distancing, etc.

Perhaps visit their city, but stay in an AirBnB and say you'd like everyone to produce negative tests prior to getting together.  We're not at endemic levels yet, and I wouldn't want my kids missing two weeks of school post holidays because we visited ignorant family members.

We visited with my family recently including an unvaxxed sibling (supposedly allergic to all 3 vaccines) but only met them at restaurants that were outside/open to the outside.The city also required all indoor diners to show vaccination or a negative Covid test within 72 hours. Given that everyone but the unvaxxed sibling was vaccinated, we were willing to compromise and meet. We did not have a situation like OP where the children are used to a lot of close indoor playtime with their cousins. Frankly, I would just go by myself before or after the holidays and pass this year on getting the families together. I hadn’t seen my family in two years so I didn’t want to go any longer without seeing them. You can make the effort to show you think the relationship is important without taking on more risk that necessary. [/quote]
