Even though traveling for Thanksgiving is not advised, some of you will choose to spend the holiday with people outside of your pod. But you can still take measures to help minimize your risk. Eat Thanksgiving dinner outdoors!
“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” sets a great example for that. Follow their lead, except for the part where they let a filthy dog prepare all the food. Snoopy may be beloved, but he's still a dog, my God.
The CDC also says avoid shouting, because apparently, they know your crazy family. So when you ask Uncle Darryl to pass the dressing, and he starts screaming conspiracy theories about what the feds are hiding at the Hidden Valley, you can cite the CDC when telling him to shut up.
Look, there's no one-size-fits-all way to celebrate Thanksgiving. This has been a hard fucking year, and it's understandable that you might want to be with your family right now. But it's crucial to consider and manage your risk.
If you don't see your family next week, don't feel guilty. It may be one of the most loving things you can do for them. Plus, this is the only year you can skip it without being an asshole--and that's one reason to be truly thankful.
