I have no regrets, and before anyone else jumps on their virtue bus and turns on the signals.. we have been getting together with family and friends of all age groups since probably since April! We are all well, we are doing great and I can promise you it’s not gonna stop stop us! Stop reading propaganda and watching TV look at the CDC sites, look at the other doctors recommendations, the risk is so minimal is it worth losing losing a year of your life? We will decide who has the regrets a year from now...it won’t be us... enjoy your holidays!

I’m sorry your logic doesn’t work for me...

Nothing like telling the world where you’re going to be on a certain day at a certain time. Thieves love these polls!

...anonymous poll - unless one comments...as you did...

Surely "thieves" have better methods to scout out targets...

... even thieves NOT named Shirley use other methods. (Airplane movie reference)

Driveway dinner buffet style with just a few close friends. Shared meal, socially distanced, outdoors!

And to the person that thinks turkeys are the winners this year, with so many people gathering in twos rather than eight-plus, I think many more turkeys have their necks on the line (literally) this year.

After 7 months of basically being a shut in alone I already flew to be with family for the holidays. Life is too short. It's so wonderful being with family again. They are all careful, took covid tests just before I came, all negative. They wear masks, use sanitizers and wash hands all the time as do I. Took first flight of the day, plane had only 43 people so they actually moved people for more distancing before we flew out. I got moved to first class as did another senior lady. Wonderful experience all around and people here don't go out without masks on so I do feel safe. Very glad I made the choice to go and have the holidays with family. Everyone should do what they are comfortable doing and try to have as good a holiday as they can. Life is too short anyway, covid or no covid.

We will be having our children and grandchildren from Nashville, TN and our daughter and her family who live here over for dinner. We will be eating inside without masks and thanking God for His grace and provision. We do not buy into the mass hysteria that surrounds a virus that has a 99.9% recovery rate.

Sorry my reply was poorly written and I did not proof read. I would like to serve food to the homeless or needy. I live in The Villages and only have a golf cart for transportation so my volunteer work would have to be in the confines of The Villages.

Are you eating outside because you are having guests ? Or, just to enjoy a nice warm (maybe ?) Thanksgiving day ? If for safety, will you also have guests inside your home (cards, restroom, coffee and chatting.... and of course left over "snacks" ....LOL ! Just wondering if people are having guests if they are asking them to stay outside ? Pray this virus is hardly remembered NEXT Thanksgiving, that would be an excellent reason to GIVE THANKS
