I live with my mom and she is high risk, as am I but I am much more concerned with her ability to handle corona if she got it than I am for myself.  We have been quarantining since march and have only seen the nephews/grandkids twice. We are in a 2nd wave now so we locked down again. We knew this christmas would be different but decided we wanted to try to make it work so our compromise was for us to wear N95 masks and the rest of the family wear disposable or cotton masks. I think the risk is low but we want to be extra cautious. I rather have 1 christmas with masks than not have the next 20 with my mom. We decided we would just do presents no meal but at least we could spent some time together. My nephew is 1.5 yrs and ive spent like 4 days of his life with him and my other nephew is going into preteen years so we don't want to keep missing their lives. Anyways i thought it was a good compromised but my brother is completely against wearing masks. He thinks its ridiculous and we are over exaggerating and corona phobic. I will note his whole family complies with mask laws. They wear them out, at work, and the kid at school so its not like they are antimask they are frankly just selfish and unwilling to compromise what their vision of christmas is even if it means no christmas at all. I guess theyll just spend christmas with the wifes family instead so maybe they dont care.

I guess my real question is... Is anyone else limiting seeing immediate family because of covid? Honestly ALL of of my friends still go out and see each other. I feel like im the only one who is doing what we are suppose to , to stop this shit. I dont think any of my friends christmases will be different this year so am i the only one who is not going to see immediate family because of covid? I know the big family/party christmases are likely not happening as much but is anyone else sacrificing time even to see their siblings and nephews? I feel like I need to hear im not the only one . Like im not crazy for being cautious. Anyone else spending christmas alone or just with those in their household?
