My nephew has been testing positive since Saturday…fever, now just has sniffles. They will keep testing him until he is negative.
My dad is in assisted living, and a resident has tested positive, so now he can’t leave his room for 3 days.
2 years ago, the whole family wore masks (not me) at Christmas after us not seeing each other for almost a year….have only seen them twice since then.
I’ve been trying to wake them up for 15 years. My whole family is ruined. Fuuuuuck 😣💔
Hang in there. I am sorry.
Keep in mind the opportunity this presents.
Look at it this way, for most, it's a 4 day weekend, during which time you can build a new normal.
We are facing that this year. All parents have passed away - not COVID or vaxx. This is the first year we are truly obligation free (mom passed away last Christmas).
Holding a film festival might be fun. Ditch the turkey, bring on the Spaghetti and Lasagna, and make it a Godfather mafia movie marathon.
OR
A game weekend. For us, it is just me, hubby, and 16 y.o. son. Board games, video games, etc.
OR
An advent kick-off weekend. Get the tree up, lights on the house, nativity set up, and advent calendar ready. Enter into the Christmas season with leisure.
Our closest family is about 4 hrs away. I am really looking forward to not having to travel. 😊
I enjoyed college years because we would have different friends over, depending on who couldn't get back home for Thanksgiving. We didn't have lots of big family around us, but the table was always full.
Fellowship at it's finest.
We would try to do this as well in years past when we were not traveling. It never worked out though cause they had family in the area. This was pre-covid.
Maybe it's time to try again.
