Socially Distanced Thanksgiving
With rising cases and overloaded hospitals, now’s not the best time to gather with family and celebrate the holidays around a dinner table. Luckily there are plenty of resources to let you celebrate Thanksgiving in the time of COVID-19. If you have family that lives nearby, consider divvying up who makes the sides. Then have each person drop their contribution off on family’s front porches around town. Enjoy everything together on Zoom.
