Just tested positive, can I still provide Xmas Dinner but not attend?

I was supposed to be cooking for dh and dds and elderly mil for Christmas. Felt a bit off colour today and did lft which was positive, waiting on results of pcr.
Obviously this has stopped my Christmas in its tracks, but dh and dds are still hoping to go to mils for Xmas day (depending on their lft being negative) would I be still be OK to cook/prep the dinner at our home for him to take to mils or not?
He's not much of a cook and mil is disabled and unable to cook a big meal. Dh is carer for mil so will be round there daily depending on negative lft.
AIBU to cook the dinner for h to take round on Xmas day? Don't want to ruin everyone's Christmas.

I have Omicron (had delta in August and this is totally different). Had symptoms over a week ago. Haven't isolated. Neither DH or DC have had symptoms or a positive LFT

You state you haven't isolated.

They have carried on their lives as normal. DC will be going to Grandparents this week before I'm out of 10 day isolation Grandparents more than happy with that.

You have isolated? I'm a bit confused....might be me though??!! Apologies if so.

Probably means haven't isolated within the home and carried on as normal

It is not a perfect situation, unfortunately my dh will have to go as she is not mobile, unable to cook or answer the door or stand to get herself food. He is a full time carer to her and a stay at home dad to dds so is capable of cooking just feeling a bit daunted of doing Xmas Dinner for the first time as its always been my domain! He is taking extra precautions, she also lives alone and he is an only child. We have left a message in the care line for help but it is unlikely. Thanks for all the practice advice. I'm writing a cooking order list for him, just feeling a bit down as I love cooking Xmas Dinner. Going to be weird by myself this year.

What a rotten situation you find yourself in. Wishing you well and hope you find the best possible compromise.

Elderly MIL.
Did I understand it right? You will continue living in the same house as your DH and DC, they will just do their LFTs on Xmas day and go to elderly MIL??

Is all this fuss over Christmas really worth the huge risk your MIL will be taking ? Why can’t you have a family celebration after you totally recover ??

@coatofsomanycolours I stayed isolated at home, but didn't isolate from my family. Hope that makes sense!

@DickMabutt73962 got it in one

It doesn’t pass through food so of course you can!

No they will be doing daily LFTs as per guidelines. I am not ill at the moment and will be working full time (WFH) over the next few days so Dh will have dds with him normally while at mils daily, though I will be arranging some emergency leave from work to cover child care to minimise this.

Going to bow out now as have decided to buy easy prep food and leave them all to it. Happy Christmas all 🎄
