She said she was committed to keeping Thanksgiving as great as possible while keeping in mind we have several people we will be giving leftovers to. She has already bought all the food containers, bags, and has hand made cards for them all. Let me take a moment to tell the Internet how absolutely *amazing* my wife is. Seriously. She is one of a kind. She does NOT fuck around. She's like Martha Stewart, June Cleaver, and Phoenix Marie rolled into one badass package.
What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is big in our family but the attendance has been halved and halved the point where it will just be me and my folks -- and even that feels like pushing it. They've been taking the virus seriously and we've each been isolating as much as possible the past week. But bubbles only work when you can keep them, and so far I know my mom visited my aunt, my dad is still going to his office job, and I have a dental visit next week I am trying to reschedule to just about any other week on the calendar.
Quiet night at home with my partner on the actual day. Going to make some sides and eat pie the next day, when my kids come for the weekend.
Not doing any larger family stuff.

Nothing. Thanksgiving has been canceled. I am working. At least I have holiday pay to look forward to.
Making Gobbler-style* sandwiches for my family that will be distributed under a covered pavilion at a local park so we don't have to worry about plates, silverware, etc. Won't be seeing my wife's family because they are all acting like COVID is not a thing.
* - I've never had one of these or even been to a Wawa, but people seem to love them so I am going to do my best.

Going up to my parents place. My sister tested positive for COVID early last week, but has already come back negative. I'll have been two and a half weeks by the time I go up, so I think it'll be safe to be around her.
This Thanksgiving was just going to be my best friend and her mom. We live in the same apartment complex and celebrated Thanksgiving last year as well so I was hoping it could become some sort of tradition.
Her roommate is one of my ex-friends who I no longer associate myself with due to his actions. We all work together andI work with him just fine and have small talk from time to time still. We're adults so I'm not going to just ignore his existence.
Well today at work he told my best friend that if I show up to the apartment he will be moving out and she will have to pay the rent alone. He will be at work all day and will not even be home. Obviously I'm not going to put my best friend in the situation of having to pay rent alone so I simply said I could pick up some holiday hours tomorrow instead.
I played it off like it wasn't a big deal since my best friend was nearly in tears over this and I didn't want to make her feel bad. But honestly I was really looking forward to it. I bought her mom a gift already, bought all the ingredients and have the Turkey defrosting in the fridge rn.
I'm honestly not in the mood to go work so I'll probably just stay home and play video games or watch TV. I just feel shitty about how I'm so disliked that I can't even be in the apartment.

Working, but I'm using PTO to get off a few hours early. Then having dinner with my parents (who I live with) and brother and sister.
Brother is deep frying a turkey, which is my favorite way to have it.

Nothing really. I'm Canadian and all my family lives on the other side of the country.
But I work for a US company so I have two days "off" which is pretty sweet.

I'll be doing dinner with my parents as I do every week (normally on Friday nights, but moved up this week).
They're my bubble and the only people I see on a regular basis outside my own household for the last seven months.

Making dinner for the missus and myself. We were initially planning on going to her parent's since they're retired and live in the country, but then her fucking father decided to go golfing with some maskless randos and ruin it for everyone else.
Sitting at home waiting on Covid test results since a family member just got a positive after visiting us multiple times last week... while waiting on their test to come through because evidently they didn't feel well. I don't.. understand people.
Eating a Dr. Oetker pizza, looking forward to it!
No more visits going forward. Stay safe, wishing you good luck on your results!
What's it like living in New Zealand?

Making red beans and rice and candied rillons, alone. My parents are going to my grandma's house so I'm staying away from that
Having a small Thanksgiving dinner with my dad and his husband. I'm living in their house currently. His husband is a fucking phenomenal cook so I can't wait.
I'll be sitting at a different table like I have been already. I am an essential worker and can't risk getting them sick as they are both in their 60s/70s. My dad also has a bad history of health.

Staying home with my wife and kids, we're the only ones in our family that don't leave the house.
