Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
OK, we've got forum ideas for Halloween and Thanksgiving for this year.
Wondering on my possible plan for Christmas.
We usually have extended family celebration (my siblings, spouses, all our kids/grands, so can be up to 25 folks). We have a white elephant and $25 gift card exchange and everyone brings pot luck.
Thinking this year, IF folks still want to get together (which I am doubting, but want to plan something safer) what I may suggest:
Indoors, everyone wear masks for party and visiting. Windows open for fresh air, folks dress warmly! We only have 2 under a year old, other kids are school age and used to wearing masks.
Have tables and food/drink out in our garage, with the door and window open for fresh air exchange, and have folks eat out there.
Suggest even safer would be for "family units" or those who have been together during the virus, to go out together to eat at separate times, since masks would be off at that time.
Lots of hand sanitizer out, also.
Other than not having the group celebration, I can't think of anything else to make it safer, again, IF they do want to gather together. We have not discussed it yet, but I wanted to at least have plan to mention if someone does.
Is anyone doing anything different during these challenging times?
Again, I recognize the risk of being around family outside our bubbles. Trying to think of ways to decrease risk factors if there is a decision to have a gathering.
