Holiday challenge during covid

goodWalker4788 October 21st, 2020

We will plan to celebrate Thanksmas (combined Thanksgiving and Christmas since we have married children and we share holidays with in-laws). Anyway we planned on hosting here so I'd cook which is fine. We would have 9 people total. Our region of the state is beginning to have a spike in cases again. Our family has been cautious, well mother-in-law not so much, but my husband is so scared we will expose each other to the virus and get deathly ill. He is almost wanting to cancel which would crush me. He knows this and I see his point. He is in a higher risk factor than me. This year we have a newborn to share the holiday with. I've only seen her for a few days when I went to take care of her and her parents when they came home from the hospital. If it was nice outside, we could do eat outside but no guarantee of that. Any suggestions?

Hello there.

Covid is a serious thing, every country and region may have different situations, so I think you have to be aware of the situation where you live and see what is doable for everyone's safety.

Cheers!

My relatives seem to feel sad since we can not plan to meet for the future holiday. I repeatedly explained, "the timing is bad." --they dislike it. For me, it is not a terrible loss though.
