Title: Thanksgiving & Christmas
Post by: Mizzkizz7 on August 13, 2020, 01:26:09 pm
Do you think that we all will be able to be together without wearing our masks during the holidays? I hope so.
Your thoughts?
:sad1:

I don't go anywhere for the holidays anyway.  It's usually only me and one or two other people for the holidays.

I hope not but I have a feeling that is going to be a Yes.  But again if you are only having an smal get together with family if should be OK not to wear

I hope that this is all over before Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I have a feeling that it will not be over.

I heard on the news yesterday the CDC director said the fall is  going to be bad with Coronavirus and flu season.......I am worried that will affect Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You can do whatever you want to do. Nobody can come in to your home and tell you what you can do. Said it before, if you want to wear a mask then wear one. If you don't then don't. What is sad is people who are stuck in nursing homes and won't be able to see their family because they have everything locked down.

The CDC are a bunch of idiots.  They are also saying the masks everyone are wearing is not doing any good. Then the next day they say it would be better if people wear them.  Oh wait, no don't wear that one.  smh
It won't effect me.  We will get together like we always do.

We've missed a lot of holidays and family times already this year so I think the rest of the year will be much the same

I don't know what it will be like when we get to the holidays, but I feel it will be the same as now.  Holidays will not be the same for me because my grandson will not be here to spend it with me and that makes me so sad.

We do not do much beyond immediate family so we have not really done anything any different. We still had a meal on Easter, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.

Depends on how the election goes. I don't see things being a lot different. They cannot stop you from gathering in your own home. I guess if you have butt neighbors they can call and tell on you for having too many people at your house. But most leos are saying they are not enforcing stuff like that.

The holidays will be different for you for sure. Last summer a kid at church was killed in a car accident. So this past Christmas was her family's first season without her.  I guess all you can do is try to find a way to go on and still try to make things special for the ones still here.  Do you have other grandchildren?

Well at 66 I no longer have anyone much to celebrate these holidays with - I have a son who lives with me and a younger son who will come by but I don't know if it will be without masks but for people like you I hope that works out.  Either way I am going to do something special.

I have a bad feeling that our family (my husband, my two boys, and I) will not be able to meet with our extended family for the holidays this year because of COVID-19. My stepfather is rather elderly, and none of want to take any chance of infecting him. The thought of not having the big family get together is really disappointing. But you never no; maybe things will clear up a lot by then.  :snowman: :turkey: :peace: :heart:

You could do skype or something to talk to family far away.  I remember a few years ago my cousin was in another state on Christmas and on Christmas morning her dad put her on skype so she could talk to Mammaw.

I already thought about needing to go ahead and start some Christmas shopping. Don't know what things will be like closer to December. And ordering may be insane and things may take longer to come. I know a couple of small things I want but you usually can't find them til closer to Christmas. Kind of more like stocking stuffer items. :D

No, I dont think so; only with people who you live in house with daily but I don't see extended family being involved. I will not be traveling to see family this holiday season.

We will probably go to the beach for Thanksgiving as a couple and then travel north for Christmas. We will get together as usual. No one wear masks with family.

Usually for the holidays it is just me and my mom. We don't have a gathering of people so no masks for us. Hopefully by the holidays things will be a little better for everyone but I don't have high hopes the way things are going in my state.

If we could all get our acts together, we might could have a fairly nice Holiday season.

I agree, so many other countries locked down everything hard and are now back to almost normal.  We just have to many people who think just about themselves and now how their actions affect others.

While the majority here on FC seem to wanna obey the rulz to take the virus seriously,U still have some foolish ones that wanna do their own thing and thats just the way of the world and it will always be that way until Gods kingdom governs us.

If you live in a liberal sanctuary state, some have instituted the "snitch" programs. If people aren't wearing masks, even outside, they are to report them to the police or some other agency (I didn't pay attention to which agency), and they can get a hefty fine.  The "snitch" programs remind me of the days of Hitler. It's sad to see this country moving away from a republic form of government.

I saw that.  That is what I was talking about earlier. People better pull their head out of the sand and look at what is going on around them.  I am not sure but I think it was just in certain states.  I can just see the "karens" driving around with their cell phones trying to get pictures of people outside without a mask on. ::)

It is usually just a few of us during the holidays because we don't have a huge family so we won't wear masks. I do think masks will still be required or encouraged everywhere else though during that time.
Title: Re: Thanksgiving & Christmas
Post by: ssarber on August 15, 2020, 03:57:11 pm
Why would you have to wear masks to get together for the holidays? It's not a law. Its a mandate in public places, but You don't have to wear one.

If you're getting together with family then it's your decision whether to wear a mask or not.

It won't change what I normally do, unless one of us has the virus.  We are seeing more cases in this area now.

No It will be the same that is like now I am sure about that. I only wear masks when I go to the store or to an appointment and I am done my Christmas shopping already anyway.
