What do you think about this Covid Thanksgiving idea.

I think I'm growing resigned to the fact that I won't see my children for Thanksgiving. But I can't help being the mama that wants to do something for her kids, especially the one that has been on his own for the Covid months. Essentially, I'm thinking of ordering a Thanksgiving dinner that will be delivered to his door. And I'm wondering, if I'm thinking about this, maybe there are others who want to do the same thing for their family members, who will be alone this Thanksgiving.

So, what restaurants are the best chances of making this happen? Or is it possible that we can start a trend?

You could make him a home made dinner and drop on doorstep for him, if he is nearby.

Otherwise, I presume any grocery store deli would make a dinner and deliver.

It’s a lovely idea.
