Did you have a Thanksgiving?

I know that a lot of people on myLot are not living in, or from the US, including myself. I had Monday off work, since it was the Japanese holiday known as "Thanks to the workers". Actually it just means that workers get a day off in November... the Japanese government has made sure that one holiday happens each month. Of course, the workers in retail, etc., do not get a day off on those days. I taught school as usual on the Thursday that was Thanksgiving in the US. I didn't even think about it being Thanksgiving until the next day when Twitter lit up with feast pictures! Anyway, I think, given the way the virus is spreading in the northern hemisphere, I would not want to go to any family gathering. In fact, I will probably ask my family, whom I have not met in person since March, to meet me in a park if they want to see me sometime for Christmas. We have been having Sunday dinner together on Zoom since then, and I really enjoy that! I don't want to be the one who brings back an unwelcome present into the school community (although I'm sure others may; I just would rather stay home). Have you had any kind of holiday (Thanksgiving or otherwise) recently, with or without people?
