Not going to go to Oregon. First time I've missed Thanksgiving. Not planning to go Christmas either.

I'll sous vide turkey breast and Trader Joe's Thanksgiving sides. Set up a zoom with the fam while eating.
 
All thanksgivings in my family just got cancelled unless I can convince my parents to change their mind.

honestly I’m a little pissed. No one in my family is considered high risk
 
We're skipping the family thing this year, praise Covid!

We have a beach house rented at Newport. The plan was for everyone to quarantine in for two weeks so we could do a family getaway relatively safely. My grandson got a toothache and is going to need dental work next week. Trying to decide if that blows the quarantine bad enough that we have to cancel. Given that my 92 year-old mother-in-law is one of the people planning to go, I think the answer is going to be yes.

Going to be just me and Lucia.

Upside I can cook what I want without accommodating everyone else's food restrictions.

OK, save the date. Next year all S2 is invited except homophobes and cat haters.

So how is the Big C influencing your Turkey Day plans?

Just me and my wife. We're getting a turkey provided by her favorite gambling joint up in Washington state near Battleground. Dressing, plenty of turkey gravy, will skip the mashed potatoes because I prefer dressing, whole berry cranberry sauce, might add frozen orange juice to the cranberry sauce, side dishes are as yet unknown. Will have a nice white wine from my collection.
 
My wife, son and grandson. We usually go to my brothers' house where 20 or so relatives gather. Not happening this year. It looks like we are getting a value meal from a local supermarket and some Rolling Rock (pale ale) beer.
 
My wife and I are going to Asheville, NC for a few days. The Biltmore Estate is amazing this time of year.

Just got disinvited from my parents' house. First time ever. Probably spending Thanksgiving with my in-laws listening to them talk about how America will come to an end thanks to this past election.

family fued episodes about to commence in our group texts. glad the wife bought a fresh box of kettle corn. Lol
 
Just wife and I this year, probably have a zoom with kids and grandkids.
 
We finally cancelled on Turkey Day at my wife’s sister’s house. They are pushing their late 70’s and have plenty of health issues. And so do I. Too, I have very little in common with them and time spent with them feels like eons. I suspect we’ll just get takeout from whatever Chinese joint is open. So we’re relieved and happy. Covid actually did me a favor......
