[quote:SugarSand:MV80NTk4MzEwXzgzNzM0Mzg3XzdDOUE5MjY4] My mother is one of 10 siblings and we typically have 50-70 people at Thanksgiving dinner. When everyone was alive and local, we've had up to 90 people. It's our thing. We use a local hunting club's building and kitchen because no one can accommodate everyone at their house. The 2020 Thanksgiving cancellation started slowly, with the out-of-state contingents staying home. With most of my aunts and uncles pushing 70, they started peeling off one by one and are each having their own dinners at home. Each will still have 10 people or more - we have big families. For the first time in my lifetime, ours will be just my mom's kids and grandkids, and in-laws and assorted single friends. We're cooking for 20. It's sad. It was very special that we all were able to do that every year. Hopefully next year. Eventually, the virus WILL fizzle out, vaccine or not. [/quote]

Was supposed to be about 30 people gathering, then everyone just decided to do their own household Thanksgiving dinners. Then my liberal aunt was telling me how she had to quarantine in her basement and my uncle would leave food at the door while their two kids and my other aunts two kids all went to the beach, definitely drinking and partying. Then she's telling me about all the sick people she knows, and one died. Funny, I don't know a single person who had the virus. I think it may be a relief since almost everyone in my family is a democrat and dinner conversations are gonna go south really fast if I open my mouth. Anyway, off to the grocery store to buy some frozen turkey dinners, 2/$5 sale, and toilet paper for the coming post-Thanksgiving day BS lockdowns cause "muh cases".
