Staying home to celebrate or travel to relatives. Or not celebrate at all...

@KrystalSchmalzi ,
National epilepsy awareness month is November . Then there’s a international Epilepsy awareness day , on the second Monday in February every year.

Me and my wife are staying at home because I'm on a critical list but we might meet up with her parents later in the day in some car park to have some turkey sandwiches.

We alternate Thanksgiving, between my in laws and my family. This year we would be spending it with my in laws, but because of covid 19 cases, going up again, in California, as well as the rest of the country, and my father in law being 91 and not in the best of health, most of the family is reluctant to get together. I was planning on getting together with him, his live in caretaker, my husband, son and me. However, I'm thinking it may not be a good idea, after all.
I grew up eating ham, roasted chicken, potato salad, carrot and apple salad, and other sides, on Thanksgiving. My husband grew up eating turkey and all the fixings. I always make ham, a green chile pasta casserole, and yams, for my in laws, and green chile pasta casserole and yams, for my family. One of my sisters makes ham, and my mom makes roasted chickens.
I bought a roasting chicken today, and I'm looking for a small ham, to cook. I have the ingredients for the pasta casserole, potato salad, and yams.
We spend Christmas eve, with my family, and Christmas day, with my in laws. This is up in the air, for right now.
I'm wishing all of you a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving,free of seizures,regardless of who you spend it with!

Please rethink your journey with the number of reported new cases in your state and the increased chances of catching the virus as people are traveling from hot spots. Keep safe this year so you can celebrate next year.
