Celebrating Thanksgiving by entering someone’s home and spreading a lethal infectious disease is a little too darkly ironic anyway.
Take the opportunity to think about what you love most about the day. Focus on how to re-create that, and even build on it. Maybe learn to cook one of the dishes that someone else usually brings to dinner. Think of the people you actually look forward to seeing, and call them. Think of the people you don’t look forward to seeing, and don’t call them. Appreciate that you can’t get cornered by some annoying second cousin; you save money on travel; you don’t have to pretend to care about football.
Maybe most important, this year is an opportunity to bond over the moral certainty of the moment. At its core, Thanksgiving is a nebulous day of atoning for the sins of colonialism by eating food and saying thank you. Now families and friends and communities can work together to achieve something meaningful and good: ending the pandemic. All you’re asked to do is eat food at home.
Whatever you do, take heart that this radically different pandemic lifestyle doesn’t have to last too much longer. By next Thanksgiving, if the news of an effective vaccine proves as fortuitous as it sounds, we can go back to whatever traditions draw people to this day. This is a onetime deal. Next year will be an opportunity to be thankful for the elements of the holiday that we tend to take for granted. It will be like a Super Thanksgiving. Or maybe this new way of doing it will work so well, you’ll never want to go back.

Tell him, “Hey turkey, just go stuff yourself and STFU”
“Men without chests” want you to cower.
Flatten the curve! Hell’s bells that was a thousand frickin miles ago....
PETA will be dancing in the streets...until they find out the Turkeys were killed and frozen months ago...
“Covid, the virus which saved 100,000s of Turkey’s lives...what do we now do with 100,000s of Turkeys? Do we keep feeding them and causing global climate change? Or, do we kill them, to reduce carbon emissions by growing feed for them? Won’t their decaying bodies produce toxic gases?
Maybe we could burn them in a solar “oven” and use them for fertilizer?”
Hmmmm
It does if you change that to Martin Luther King boulevard.

Hey, Hamblin, why don't you truck on down to Georgia and illegally vote for the crazed pastor and that pencil-neck geek, like your buddy Yang wants you to. In the meantime, we'll continue celebrating Thanksgiving.
DANG!
COVID is a total Marxist scam. In 2018, there were 2.8 US million deaths. In 2020, there are projected to be 2.8 million US deaths.
Sorry, got my bird today and we’ll eat it..
Fulking prick!
My Gaydar is pinging off the scale.
Because no one should give thanks to any one greater than the government.
No. I will be giving thanks. I will be celebrating Christmas
I’d cancel the Atlantic, but I don’t take it.
I will be giving thanks too...not for the perfidious U.S. government, but for blessings provided by the Lord. I will not be unthankful.
Screw this guy.
NO. We will do as we please, and gather as always. We will not cease thanking God our Father, either, which is the real point of this little prohibition.
They also don’t want you gathering with like-minded people, or family or friends to discuss their evil plans of tyranny, election fraud, or their “reset” plans.
My take.
"Put Down the fork!!!"
I bet he fawns all over those soup kitchens feeding Thanksgiving dinner to untold numbers of vagrants and drug addicts.....
Love the come and take the turkey one.
The leftist tyrants are so meme-able :-)
