“Six allowed at Thanksgiving but 30 for a funeral. I will be holding a funeral for my pet turkey”

“Six allowed at Thanksgiving/Christmas but 30 for a funeral. I will be holding a funeral for my pet turkey” is a jocular Covid-regulation saying that has been printed on many images.
     
“Only 6 people allowed at Christmas but 30 to a funeral? Think I’ll be having a funeral for my pet turkey on 25th December” was posted on Twitter by Paul Mac on October 21, 2020. “Only six allowed at Christmas but 30 for a funeral.

I’m having a funeral for my pet turkey on Christmas Day. I’m inviting up to 30 mourners who will stay for the wake. It will be an emotional affair - the laughter will be us bravely smiling through the tears.

Only 6 are allowed for Christmas but 30 for a funeral.
I’m putting all on notice that I’ll be holding a funeral for my pet turkey, TOM, that sadly passed and will be honored on the 25th.
He will be properly dressed for the occasion.
