Me. We were at 22 people when I replied but a family has backed out because they are going out of town so we’re actually down to 19 people now. We’re at level 1.5 for restrictions so this falls within our guidelines.

Yep. It’s all the families living in my apartment building. Our building is the former German Embassy, converted to apartments. Due to the original construction, we have a lot of shared systems and communal spaces. We have been our own bubble for months.
The CDC’s Thanksgiving guidelines were updated today, and they currently say that the safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving this year is to celebrate at home with the people you live with. If you decide to ignore the recommendations of doctors and epidemiologists who study diseases for a living, then they’re urging you to travel and gather as safely as possible for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays. Meaning: Taking a road trip over plane travel, strategically quarantine and test, social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands — the whole nine yards. And, if you’re going to gather with people outside fo your household, the CDC recommends taking your celebrations outdoors. Even then, you should still be social distancing and wearing a mask.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
Husband, kid, me. We're in Seattle, and the statewide mandate is to not gather indoors with people outside one's own household. I have asthma and have no interest in taking risks, even with my family. Also, as an introvert with a narcissist disorganized mother, I'm looking forward to an incredibly low-stress holiday weekend with my husband and son.
Just me and the kiddo. We’re getting take out because she won’t even eat turkey. So... it will basically be the same as every other day, except no school.

I'm staying with my parents right now, so just them and my brother and SIL, who are in the bubble. I'm slowly getting more uncomfortable with my brother being around, just because we are in a major outbreak area. He and SIL are germaphobe homebodies but it just doesn't sit right.
Just me and my H, so 2. That has been the plan basically all year, though. We likely wouldn't have seen family even without COVID, but may have gotten together with friends in a normal year.

Is he out and about at all? Why doesn’t it sit right? Just curious
He's not out and about, but they still have to get groceries and such. And he says they are not seeing her family, but I don't know if I can trust him on that.
So, this doesn’t exactly go here but I am in a state where this week there was a “secret” wedding with 7-10 thousand guests in attendance without masks. It was a big religious community. Yes, that was thousands of guests.
Thanks, fuckers. I can’t travel 400 miles to see my parents safely. And I can’t wear a puffy winter coat and do an outdoor TDay dinner with my ILs (FIL has cancer). Too risky.

Just the 4 of us and my IL's, who we've been bubbling with (I hate that word). That's pretty typical though. My 14 yo DS was watching the news the other day and heard "coming up next, how to break the news to your kids about the fact that Thanksgiving will be quiet this year" and he was all "Break the news? That's great news! What kid wants a noisy Thanksgiving with tons of people"? LOL. I've always felt guilty that our holidays are not big parties with tons of family (mainly d/t distance), but apparently he's just fine with that.

The 4 of us plus my parents. They live locally and are driving over on Wednesday, staying until Saturday. We're on day 13 of our quarantine to have them here - doing grocery pick up where they load it in our trunk while we sit in the car, have done contactless delivery for takeout twice, and other than that have stayed in our house/yard or gone for runs or family walks.
My parents are 79 and 82 so they're pretty much always quarantining from their condo. But they had groceries delivered once before our 14-day period, and my dad has been out for regular neighborhood/masked walks. We haven't spent time indoors with anyone since March 7th so it will be very weird at first.
One of my work colleagues (a non-clincal person) just told me she's flying south twice within the next month for thanksgiving and hanukah. She is at least taking the quarantine process seriously, but ummm....

People suck. A girl I know flew from FL to AZ to go to some spa and posted something in FB in the airport bathroom about “make sure you wash with water and soap” or some shit and I’m sitting here like “dude...I haven’t left my house since March. I’m good. Thanks”. I cannot believe people are still traveling like that.
