Why are people everywhere complaining about the holidays? Are they those who don't believe covid is a real thing? You are not supposed to go anywhere, you are supposed to stay at home.
And even if it was a normal year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever, it's just 2 or 3 days of sharing a meal with family, maybe extended family. Unless you are racing for world first, which is less than 1% of the players, it doesn't affect you.
