absolutely can't wait to see my family.we are having a small get together at a hotel.like everyone else,we didn't get to celebrate the holidays,so we thought today would be perfect.our parents have had their vaccine,and so have others.makes me somewhat safer.

I hope everyone continues to wear a mask, socially distance and washes their hands frequently.

Have a happy blessed time with your family!

We've never stopped seeing our family members. Just last year, during the unknown part of this virus, did we all stay away from each other. We all had Thanksgiving and Christmas together without an issue.

We have seen friends all thru the pandemic - no one has gotten sick.

We did stay away at first too.  But since Mother's Day we have regularly seen family as usual.  No problems with the virus.

Not a gamble I'm willing to take and none of my family was either, so we were home at Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year's.

We have had no family members sick, and no close calls, with Covid but we know plenty of extended family who have, and one death.
We have a number of medical workers in the family so we have heard first hand how hard it has been on them when people have not followed the guidelines, they have been the ones taking care of them.

For my family it has been worth it, and we will not get together until we have all been vaccinated.

No way I'm willing to gamble with it either, @Bhvbum.

All I have sacrificed so far for nearly a year now, I'm not blowing it now. Not sure I will ever be in a large group again. We don't have large families.

All my family including kids wore masks.the room hotel let us use,was huge,so we had plenty of space for social distancing.its funny how all of us have aged and gained covid weigh.all and all,I am a very happy camper

We haven't really stopped seeing family.  It was a smaller get together for Thanksgiving & Christmas but we still saw loved ones.

We plan on seeing adult kids in two weeks to celebrate some birthdays.....
