I've got a turkey ordered, sugar pumpkins roasted (in preparation for pie), gonna get cranberries, potatoes & all the fixins, and stay home and have thanksgiving with my household only, no relatives, no neighbors, no friends. I want to have a big blowout party next year this time with all my friends and family, but in order to do that, this year has to be different. This won't be our whole lives, this is temporary. One measly holiday season, that's what we're being asked to compromise. Surely we can manage that? Think of our grandparents in WWII (or other wars) would have said: "just cancelling get-togethers for one single Christmas? And you're complaining? Ha! How many years we had to ration foods, gasoline, rubber, keep the lights off, curfews, etc?" I weep for our society if we lack the personal discipline and civic pride to be able to handle this relatively limited set back responsibly.
