What would you do? I bake for neighbors at Christmas. This year?

[Paper Roses]

Each year I make Cinnamon rolls to give to my neighbors and local friends. I make two batches, total of 4 pans of rolls, 9 in each pan.
Everyone loves them and it takes me a good part of the day between the prep, rise of dough, assemble, rise again and bake. I do two batches, one after the other and deliver the rolls the day before Xmas. This would be my project for tomorrow for delivery late in the day..

With the current situation, I wonder if this will be a wasted effort. Will people think it is safe to eat them after all the Covid warnings? What would you do? I'd hate for them to end up in the trash because of health concerns.

5. I did not bake the Christmas Cookies to give away this year.

Just too afraid.

6. I agree

too much effort for it to possibly go to waste. A note would be good, just to let them know you're thinking of them.

7. Do it-just do it!

Those rolls say "I love you!" and who doesn't need that message even more this year? Worse case is they are afraid to eat them but still know you put in the time and money to bake and deliver them, and it's always been about you caring. This year more than ever caring counts...

8. I don't think COVID is spread via food

I am baking cookies as usual, some my husband takes to his work.

9. My daughter asked her neighbor friends

if they would eat what she baked. She and her husband have worked from home since last March, and stay away from public places. Her neighbors said they would, so she made her treats and walked around to each person, did the long reach handover, didn't go inside.

Other people I know have cooked entire meals, and packaged, set each one out for the repipient, and timed their arrivals so they didn't have to worry about contact.

I am confident I have avoided Covid-19 so far, and dropped things off to my friends earlier this week. Merry Christmas! (you are welcome to drop a few off to me )

10. Make some homemade eggnog that has copious amounts of nog

No way COVID survives and has the added benefit of getting everyone drunk
