Heard this from an acquaintance a few days ago who...

[LuckyCharms]

is having a houseful for Thanksgiving.

"Well, I'm not letting this virus ruin my Thanksgiving".

That's the thing with these assholes...MY Thanksgiving.

ME. MEEEEE. Mine. My.

Fuck 'em. Sideways.

[dchill]

1. Exactly that.

2. Reply:

Let’s hope COVID doesn’t ruin “YOUR” Xmas.

14. First thing I thought, too. n/t

[mahina]

3. But actually he may be. Foolish.

4. Won't ruin your Thanksgiving, just

your and your other guests lives AFTER Thanksgiving.

[ShazzieB]

5. Oh, for the love of puppies and kittens!

The stupid, it burns!

[unblock]

6. That just might ruin their Christmas....

[Moostache]

7. Remind them of this:

The Thanskgiving Dinner gathering will lead to empty seats at SOMEONE'S Christmas dinner and a funeral that NOONE can attend after NEW YEARS'S...

8. I've got no fucks to give about a post Thanksgiving surge.

You want family dinner for Thanksgiving and family funeral for Christmas? Go for it.

9. Don't Let "Your" Covid Interfere With My Hospital

Hows that?

[live love laugh]

16. +1 .... yep don't come to my area when YOUR hospital is full. nt

[MFM008]

10. my son and his wife

wil come where myself my brother and one other live but i will wear a mask
and keep a distance.
You cant count on good weather in Western Washington in late November......
(5 years or so we had a storm on Thanksgiving day and the electricity went out just as the turkey needed about another half hour. It sat in the oven and cooked.)

11. All my relatives live out of state.

I have always either traveled to them (or vice versa) or gathered with local friends for the holidays.

This year, I will have Thanksgiving at home, just me - and the cat. I can be in touch with them online or in phone calls and that is good enough. I will have traditional food for myself and all the contact I need, from a distance. It will be the same for Christmas.

The idea is to survive long enough to be together next year when it will be safely possible.

12. To your friend: "OK buddy, but your Christmas is sure going to suck."

[spinbaby]

13. I'm hearing this sort of thing all the time

I’m refusing to participate in pretty much anything, but hear:

“We have to live our life.”

“A little party never hurt anyone.”

“It’s perfectly safe because we’ll be six feet away from other tables.” (Never mind we’re dining with people we don’t live with.)

[ShazzieB]

15. My reply would be...

"Hey, I'm not telling you what to do, just what I am not willing to do,"

I could tell them what to do,, but they wouldn't listen anyway, so...

[live love laugh]

17. My friend is in Vegas for the holiday...says she's wearing a mask

and shield and the rest is up to God.
