Holiday Magical Thinking

[no_hypocrisy]

1. You imagine that you can have the traditional Big Family Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers and nobody will contract Covid.

2. You imagine that you can sit down to feast on turkey, ham, the multitude of side dishes and three different types of pies and calories don't count. As a matter of fact, you lose weight.

1. I'm having 6. We all began isolating yesterday in preparation. I'm still terrified.

2. No one from my daughter in law's family wants to come here for the holidays.

It's only about a 90 minute drive for anyone. WhoooHooo!
I have been worried about this because they are all R's.

So we will have a small dinner and I will breath a sigh of relief.

3. Not here....

We always travel to Maryland to visit the in-laws at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are in their 90's. Not this year, though at their age it could always be the last. But not this year. Just us at home. 6 of us. Three humans and 3 cats!

4. I'm planning our holiday menu for two of us.

Cinderfella and myself. The rest of our family will join in via Zoom, FaceTime Live or Skype. It pains me that it has to be that way but they work and get exposed to various pathogens every day. I just hope that none of them are Covid. There is no way for them to self isolate for 14 days before a get together, so through the miracle of social media, we’ll join hearts (if not hands) for the holidays this year. It will be one we’ll remember forever but thank goodness we’ll be alive to tell the tale of the Great Pandemic Holiday Season of 2020.

5. It will just be hubs and me this holiday.

Better safe than sorry. Still I will miss the family at our traditional vegetarian feast.

6. Getting tested and going to see my parents...

usually it’s about 30 of us, this time it will only be 5. We might Zoom with the cousins and aunts, etc
