We usually have a HUGE family gathering at my parents house but with my dad having COVID clearly that's not an option this year. We will be having a very small get together at our house with my younger son, daughter and her boyfriend and out 2 grandkids. Not ideal but it is what it is in 2020 I guess.....Hope everyone stays safe and eats to much food regardless!

We would typically go to Middle TN for a big gathering of 20+. That was cancelled. Then we were contemplating having family up from East TN for a gathering of 7. Decided not to do that either. I work in a hospital 7 days/week and don't want to risk it. It'll just be my wife, my little one, and me this year.

We were having 17 for Thanksgiving. Today a friend of ours tested positive, and the 17 has been cut to 8-12 (4 are on the fence).

Middle daughter, her husband, hubs, and I on their front deck huddled around a fire table! Grandson also, but his food allergies keep him mostly with his own meal.

The grandmothers are stuck in the assisted living place, son, other daughter, and stepdaughters aren’t traveling. We’re hoping for early spring.

I’m having Thanksgiving, but it’s going to be smaller this year. My wife’s family is still getting over Covid, so we only have my family to go tomorrow.

No gathering this year....its to complicated, so we will all have our own little Thanksgiving........I am going
to eat a lot and then take a long nap and then get up and eat some more....I did go a little crazy at
the grocery store this evening.......lol

Some of my younger relatives who said they were in as of last night will almost certainly send a text (calling is too much effort) after we've let the food get cold waiting on them to tell us that they have a sniffle or sore throat and don't want to risk it. I can tell you which bars they'll be at a few hours later looking for their H.S. friends who are home on break.

We usually fly to Nashville every year for Thanksgiving, but cancelled our trip. Numbers are spiking too much right now. Don’t want to risk anything. Will have a small gathering here with my MIL

I'm the only one from my family that moved away. We live in Nashville while everyone else stayed within a 30 minute radius of my parents house in Seymour. I've been looking for a good excuse to not have to drive 3 hours each way with my wife and kids, and now that I have one, I've never wanted to get together and see my family more. We are having a semi normal gathering, they rented an event tent for the backyard to make it more of an outdoor thing and to allow us to spread out, and we are eating at noon hoping for warm enough weather.
Happy Thanksgiving Volnation!

I normally go to a family gathering of around 30 people. Unfortunately this year, it’s been trimmed to 8-9.

Just the two of us this year. Daughter and grandkids all staying separate. Too much covid to risk it. We'll be doing a zoom turkey day.

Wife and I will be playing a duplicate bridge tournament and with our local club this morning followed by a zoom with about 12-16 of them. They are our primary social circle. Most of us don't have family local.
