Title (Dublin Core)
Thanksgiving During Covid
Description (Dublin Core)
This year 2020 is the year of the pandemic. Many people are traveling to other states to be with their family, which I feel is foolish of them, because not only are they endangering themselves, but their relatives. However, I do understand they want to be with their family for the holiday. I can't relate with those people because I never celebrate Thanksgiving with my entire family. I have relatives whom I never even met on the other side of the world. My Thanksgiving did not feel different from any typical year because my family did not follow common traditions, since we are Chinese. My mom just bought a plain turkey from Sprouts, which my grandparents turned into a spicy dish. But the main course wasn't the turkey, it was the delicious fish and tomato soup I helped prepare with my grandparents. The day felt normal because we never had an extravagant dinner. We only had three dishes. None of my parents cooked, instead, my grandparents did. Although my Thanksgiving was still the same, I believe some other people's thanksgiving changed. At the dinner table, we could have three or six people present, so the Covid-19 indoor capacity limitations didn't affect us at all. I didn't care much about Thanksgiving, since it wasn't my number one favorite holiday. It just felt like a regular dinner with dessert. However, I'm glad the pandemic hasn't changed everything.
