Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham encouraged New Mexicans to support local business over the Thanksgiving Holiday, by ordering take out and enjoying your meal at home. Don’t mix your households, even though it may be tough, avoid spending time with people that aren’t in your immediate household. There is no zero-risk scenario even if the gathering is small, even if it’s outdoors. This year Thanksgiving, sadly won’t be traditional.
