Ask HN: Changes to end-of-year holiday plans?

[supercollision]

Are you fundamentally altering end of year travel or plans due to COVID-19?

That may seem like an obvious question but I've seen a range of responses: groups calling plans off, families getting together in reduced capacity, or going with tradition because it's been a tough year.

I understand that some of us have naturally single-household or single-member events, that's valid for discussion too.

Will reply with my post below to not promote it for being in the OP.

I hope this isn't too off-topic; was curious what this specific audience thought.

My own normally-cautious family is tentatively having people meet up from four cities in one house for a week, which I feel is taking too much of a risk even if everyone's tested.

I'm likely to cancel and cause some disappointment, stopping short of "ruining the holidays," but IMO that's ok to keep everyone safe.
