Our plans are not listed as an option, we will be staying home and having only three guests (about 30 less than most years), and we will be spending the entire time outdoors and sitting far apart. Hoping for good weather or we will have to change our plans.

Hosting 9 adults/3 children [with an option for 2 more adults and 1 child] at Disney for 4 days in 6 villas/studios with a come when you want T-giving Dinner from noon to 6pm on Thurs! Also celebrating one 75th birthday and one 50 yr wedding anniversary! Each guest receives hand sanitizers, wipes, masks and spray disinfectant [kids hand sanitizers have Mickey stickers on them!]. Main villa will be sprayed periodically during the day. Dinner /cake catered by Publix; all utensils/plates/cups are disposable plastic! Guests arriving from North and South Carolina and California!!!!! Who knows when we all might gather again unless it's a funeral. Life is too short to give this up!

One son in town now, from out west, quarantining for two weeks as a precaution. Daughter and boyfriend and child from Miami. dinner inside. very traditional. Mental health consequences of not getting together very, very significant, especially in older population....nothing to be minimized. When we go out, will mask if go indoors to shop, Won't mask in open air and not near people. At the lakes and the trails/courses, the animals won't be masking and neither will we Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope you’re not in the 2%. I’m thinking down the road...the rest of my life...we still don’t know the long-term effects of this. I’d rather be very conscientious for me, my family, my friends and others now than, regret my behavior later.
