                      No TidBITS Issue on 30 November 2020

   Josh Centers

   This Thursday marks the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. We
   won't be publishing an email issue on 30 November 2020 so our staffers
   and contributing editors can spend this coming week with family,
   friends, and food. Well, at least food and family who are members of
   our immediate households.

   2020 has been a rough year, to say the least. Over a million people
   have died due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 250,000 of those
   being our fellow Americans. Countless others are ill, some critically,
   and even many who have recovered from the initial infection are
   suffering lingering aftereffects. Beyond that, the pandemic has
   devastated the economy, destroying businesses and leaving many
   unemployed.

   To those who have suffered loss this year, you will be in our thoughts
   as we gather around our tables. We plan to count our blessings wherever
   we can find them, and we encourage you to try to do so as well. The
   coming winter may be dark, but spring will come again and hopefully
   bring with it widespread distribution of a safe, effective vaccine.

   In the meantime, please stay home this holiday season, and if you have
   to go out, wear a mask and wash or sanitize your hands often. We love
   our readers and hope to spend many more years with you.

   While we'll miss our extended families this year, there's comfort in
   food. We will again be consulting the handy worksheets from Joe
   Kissell's [1]Take Control of Thanksgiving Di[2]nner for our dinner
   preparations'no one lays out what needs to be done better or more
   clearly than Joe, so check out his book if you're looking for help.

   Although the weekly email issue of TidBITS won't appear next Monday,
   we'll continue to publish articles on the [3]TidBITS Web site. To keep
   up with everything, visit our site, subscribe to our [4]RSS
   feed'remember that [5]TidBITS members get a full-text feed'or follow us
   in [6]Apple News or on [7]Twitter. Look for the next email issue on 7
   December 2020!
