My husband has already declared that we’re gonna stay in, this holiday season. And by now, we’re in the “family patriarch” position along with our son-in-law’s parents. We’re the elders now. And for some of us, there are for-real health issues to be taken seriously - minor ones, at present. Fortunately, nothing critical, though.

And frankly, I agree!

I’ve gotten used to Zooming and it serves QUITE well, especially when family is scattered over several states.

And we have another grandchild on the way. But I’m STILL fine with it. I’d rather be safe than sorry - on everyone else’s behalf, as well as my own. I’m kinda surprised at how easy a decision this was.
