On Christmas Day all of my family gathers at my parents for lunch and to exchange gifts. My husband works Christmas Day, so it is me, the 4 year old and the 5 week old.

My sister and her entire family were hit by the norovirus on Friday and just told me they plan to come tomorrow. I told my mom we won't be coming and she is beside herself but I am terrified of the baby getting sick and everything I've read said you are contagious 72 hours afterward. This virus has wiped out a lot of our town and a friend of mines kid was hospitalized.

Would you make the same decision in my shoes? I am sad to spend Christmas alone and my family says I'm ridiculous.
