Next week, many people will be heading out of town, or maybe not, to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Since the pandemic is still surging in many states, this means gathering for a celebration could be complicated, and potentially put older family members and the immunocompromised at risk. In today’s blog, we’re offering a few tips to visit with your loved ones and still stay safe!
Limit Your Gatherings
From the beginning, experts at the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have suggested avoiding large indoor gatherings, which make the spread of the disease through droplets in the air much easier. However, even smaller indoor gatherings could increase the risk of illness. Which is why you may be better off sticking with immediate family only, and visiting others through video apps or programs. While it won’t be the same, it protects both you and the people close to you.
Embrace Drive-By Visits and Zoom
If you have older family members, or friends or family who are immunocompromised, you can visit them by driving up to the house and maintaining a distance from their door. You can also talk via Skype, Zoom, Facetime, and other video programs. You may have to get a little creative, but there are ways to maintain a connection and still protect everyone’s health and safety.
Don’t Be Afraid to Get Away
If during your planning and holiday preparation you need a break, then feel free to give us a visit. Our dining room is open and our staff is still practicing strict health and safety protocols to protect people from the spread of COVID-19, including regular handwashing and wearing masks and gloves. You can relax in a cozy atmosphere and enjoy a sip of your favorite brews and prepared beverages. If you prefer to be outside, we understand, and we have a patio with a firepit to keep your warm and toasty. We also deliver through the GrubHub, DoorDash, Chomp, and Seamless apps, and can cater local events as well!
Our Holiday Favorites
Don’t forget that our winter holiday seasonal favorites are now available for purchase! You can try our Candy Cane Mocha, our Maple Cinnamon Latte, or grab a bite of our beloved Jingle Bell Muffins. Remember, they’re only here for a short time! We also know that now is a popular holiday shopping time, so when you pick up a $25 dollar gift card you can receive a $5 one too!
