Would actually appreciate some input if others are willing to offer. Single male here who lives alone. My immediate family lives in Calgary two younger siblings and my parents. One of my siblings works in the supply chain stocking shelves and my mom is a elementary teacher otherwise my dad and second sibling have been isolated at home.

We have been waffling over what to do. We all know the correct thing to do is I drop off/pick up gifts the evening of the 24th (outside) and we do a virtual Christmas morning as I'm not allowed to join their household. For some reason it seems hard to accept this and would really like a Christmas with my family.

I still have to head into my office <2 days a week as part of my job requires working with hardware but the rest can be done remotely. I am still in contact with my employer, my landlord (who lives in the second unit of the duplex I live in), and his girlfriend both of which I am good friends with, so I am not completely isolated.

If I transferred the virus either from/to my contacts or family I'd feel awful. I believe being rational will prevail as I don't want to be a hypocrite and realize we all have our part in this. Are others dealing with a similar situation? Might do a distanced walk in the snow with my family while dropping off presents, masks and all! Just starting to feel a little alone.
