Julie DellaMattera, University of Maine associate professor and director of the School of Educational Leadership, Higher Education and Human Development, was interviewed by WalletHub<\/a> for a report about the best states for Thanksgiving celebrations in 2020. Maine ranked 8th overall based on affordability and celebrations, pandemic safety, statewide reopening measures and giving thanks. Vermont, ranked 6th, was the only other New England state in the top ten. Due to COVID-19, DellaMattera says that this year family gatherings \u201cmay not be a physical act, but more of an emotional one. Families can call, Zoom,
\nFaceTime; send cards, photos, videos.\u201d She also says the pandemic has clarified for many people what they are thankful for: \u201cThe focus needs to not be on the food, not on the tablecloth and fancy holiday dishes, not on the new TV to watch the football game,\u201d she says. \u201cThe focus is shifting to the intangibles that make people feel as if they are indeed part of a family (whoever you decide those people are) such as kindness, common decency, a helping hand, support.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
