North Reading Family Plans Socially Distant Thanksgiving In Backyard Tent
It's an idea that came to McGoldrick over the summer. "I started thinking what would be a safe way that we could do something together."
NORTH READING, MA — The chairs are out, and the tables are ready to be set for Thanksgiving dinner at Sarah McGoldrick’s North Reading home. There’s a big difference from years past, though. Instead of gathering inside the dining room, her family will be in the backyard, under a large party tent.
It’s an idea that came to McGoldrick over the summer. “I started thinking what would be a safe way that we could do something together,” said McGoldrick, a mother of two.
Her children played into the decision to host family members at her home, including her father who’s in his 70’s. “My fear was that my kids weren’t going to be able to see my dad really all winter,” said McGoldrick. “We’re going to go from November through April and not have any quality time.”
