How to approach hosting
the holidays this year
To the relief of many,
the upcoming holiday
season figures to feel
more normal than it did
a year ago. The COVID-1 9
pandemic forced
families to celebrate the
2020 holiday season in
quarantine. Longtime
family traditions like big
gatherings might have
been shelved in 2020, but
the successful rollout of
various vaccines has put
such celebrations back in
play in 2021.
Though it would be great
to imagine a 2021 holiday
season with COVID-1 9
well in the rearview mirror,
the spread of potentially
deadly variants of the
virus and the relatively
high number of eligible
yet unvaccinated adults
and children could make
hosting the holidays a
bit tricky. The following
are some strategies hosts
can employ to make
this holiday season both
special and safe.
for the holidays can
reduce the likelihood
of spreading the virus
by keeping celebrations
outdoors. Public health
agencies like the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention and the World
Health Organization
have noted the virus is
considerably less likely
to spread outdoors, as
researchers have learned
fresh air disperses and
dilutes the virus. So
celebrating outdoors
this holiday season can
provide a measure of
protection for family
members who are not
vaccinated.
The 2021 holiday season
should mark a welcome
return to normalcy for
many families. However,
holiday hosts may still
need to implement some
safety measures to protect
their friends and families,

► Host small celebrations
instead of one large one.
Families accustomed
to gathering en masse
during the holiday
season may benefit by
hosting a small gathering
or two instead of one
big one. This can be
especially important if
families include a lot of
unvaccinated people, like
small children.
► Ask guests to wear
a mask if anyone is
concerned. The debate
about masks is ongoing.
While the vast majority
of mask mandates had
been lifted in the spring of
2021, concerns about the
Delta variant prompted
government officials and
public health agencies
to reconsider their mask
guidelines. Families need
not wait for government-
issued mandates to help
relatives ease their anxiety
about variants of the
virus. Hosts can explain
to family members that if
anyone on the guest list
expresses concerns about
the virus that they will
ask everyone else to wear
masks while celebrating
indoors. Anyone unwilling
to comply can celebrate
outside or stay home
and visit after concerned
relatives have gone home.
► Stick to the great
outdoors. Families that
gather in mild climates
