Families May Be Apart For Thanksgiving This Year, But Connections Burn Bright
While many are not spending Thanksgiving with family and friends, connecting virtually is keeping people close and thankful for each other.
This Thanksgiving is unlike any other for almost everyone. There will be fewer place settings, smaller sides and more video calls as people take caution during the coronavirus crisis.
COVID-19 cases are surging across the U.S., and hospitals are overwhelmed with patients. The CDC recommends against traveling, saying "celebrating virtually or with the people you live with is the safest choice this Thanksgiving."
NPR's are planning to celebrate the holiday — and received hundreds of responses on Twitter. Most are limiting their gatherings to a handful of family members while gearing up to connect with kids, parents and grandparents virtually.
