For most of us, this year’s Thanksgiving Day is going to be a lot different. Well, at least it should be that way—in case anyone happened to forget, we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic.

Though it seems that some people are either clueless or don’t care about it at all. For instance, this one guy who decided to invite his whole family for a Thanksgiving dinner, despite it being extremely risky.

Recently, someone on Twitter uploaded a screenshot of a conversation between family members, and it immediately went viral. In this conversation, a man invites his whole family to a Thanksgiving dinner in the middle of a global pandemic. “Offer still stands if you guys want to come over for Thanksgiving. Would love to see you all,” he writes in his message. Apparently, his mother understands that such a dinner wouldn’t be a good idea, so she replies by saying this: “We should wait until next year.” The son still attempts to convince his mother to come. “But mom, what about your famous cranberry sauce?” he asks. And that was the moment when the mother decided to put some common sense into her son by saying this: “Good idea, Nathan. You can serve it at my funeral.”

In all seriousness, the grandma had a truly important point. We all should be responsible and think twice before organizing family gatherings in the middle of a literal global pandemic and risking people’s health. Instead, we can always use our imagination and think outside the box.

For instance, this one Texas couple decided to surprise their grandkids with life-size cardboard cutouts of themselves. “We decided that we didn’t want to risk getting sick,” Missy told TODAY Parents. “Then I started thinking, ‘How can I still make it fun?'”

Turns out, the kids were super excited to be able to have their grandparents at their house at this time of the year. “Grandparents can lead the way on this. We can show others how you can be safe and still celebrate,” Missy explained to TODAY Parents. “I think they’re having more fun with the cutouts than they would have had we been there in person!”

“I think they’re having more fun with the cutouts than they would have had we been there in person!”

So, I’m officially not at medium or high risk anymore. I’m actually scared to be optimistic. That said, getting through this pandemic is a marathon. We’ve seen very ugly sides of humanity and the broken parts of our systems, but the creativity and compassion that connects us all are not to be overlooked. Celebrate at home with household members while Zooming. That way you don’t even need to wear decent pants or deal with extended family drama.
