Much, much smaller. Just my immediate family. We have some older folks in the fam and we can't risk them. Previous years for thanksgiving and Christmas we pile a crazy 4 generations of family in to one house. Everyone's been pushing out kids for decades and now those kids are having kids... last time we had a good 25 people there. Not this year, with the elders in the 87 year old range. You know if they catch it they are goners. Don't want to send granny and gramps to the grave early, we love them too much.
So we bought them "Grandpads". Tablets super simplified that allow video chats and are so easy to use you don't need to have ever turned on a computer in their life. They love them! They come with a 4G connection and they are getting pics and stories of the grandkids and great grandkids, it's like a whole new world.
