I haven't heard much about people staying home at Christmas,

[BigmanPigman]

it seems like all the warnings are about Thanksgiving family gatherings and travel. Why? We know it will be just as bad if not worse by Christmas, New Year 2021, etc. Is this due to not wanting to depress too many people even more?

1. Thanksgiving, traditionally, is the most

traveled holiday. Probably because it’s a 4 day weekend for so many people.

2. I wonder how many college kids

are actually away at school, and how many are having distance learning. I would think that travel at these times when college campuses pretty much close down--Christmas more so than Thanksgiving--would be largely driven by college students getting home.

7. I heard of quite a few universities planning the end is the term at Thanksgiving

Shorter term by removing the typical fall break and starting earlier. They have from T-day to January to be away from campus.

I have one on that schedule. The other kid’s undergrad university also did that schedule.

9. Some colleges here worked it out to end the fall semester at Tgiving.

My boss’s daughter doesn’t have to go back until mid January. That was a very good idea.

10. My family has already cancelled get-togethers for both.

We're all staying in our own household bubbles.

Yeah, it will probably be even worse by Christmas.

11. Mine too.

I'll be alone for both holidays. I agree with you that it will probably be worse by Christmas due to the Thanksgiving people who still aren't taking it seriously.

12. I'm in a wait and see mode, but I am thinking it's only going to get worse between

now and then. I am thinking of giving Christmas a pass this year too.
