I want to prepare myself if I have to cancel so I'd love to hear people's opinions so that I can do the 'right' thing.
It's me, DH and 2dc (4+2). We live the other end of the country from my family but close to DH's family. We alternate Christmas and spent Christmas with his family last year with the intention of spending this year with my family. We planned to go down in May (booked last year) but had to cancel, rebooked for September but had to cancel and now hoping to go for Christmas; we've not physically seen them for over a year and I really miss my mum and siblings. We're meant to go to their house for Christmas and can take any form of transport (car, plane or train) but DH is saying no. He's vulnerable (as is my nan who we'd be staying with) and says he's not putting the kids at risk. If we went by car (not ours, we'd be picked up/dropped off by my mum), I don't see the massive risk increase in terms of transport. We are in a low case/death area, my mums is quite a lot higher and he says he's not putting myself/our DC at extra risk. We'd be staying with my grandparents which makes 6 but meet up with my mums household which breaks it. I miss them so much but I don't know if it is worth the extra risk. What do you think? If the death rate goes up then I will cancel but if it's as it currently is, what do you think?
