Ah, Thanksgiving! That magical time of year when we gather with extended family to feast, laugh, and try to remember everyone’s name.
Here are some light-hearted survival tips to get you through the day:
Avoid Politics Like the Plague: Remember, discussing politics at Thanksgiving is like adding raisins to potato salad—just don’t do it.
Master the Art of Distraction: When Uncle Bob starts his annual “back in my day” speech, initiate an emergency pie run. Everyone loves pie.
Wine is Your Friend: Keep a glass handy, it’s not just for pairing with turkey, it’s also great for “Oops, I accidentally spilled on myself and now I need to step away” moments.
Compliment Overload: Overwhelm Aunt Susan’s casserole with compliments. She’ll be so busy blushing, she won’t have time to ask about your “life plan.”
Kids’ Table Wisdom: When conversations get too intense, remember the kids’ table is a judgment-free zone where cranberry sauce is the only drama.
Embrace the Chaos: Remember, every family has its quirks. Embrace the chaos, it’s part of the charm! Plus, it’s excellent material for next year’s stories.
Happy Thanksgiving! May your turkey be juicy, your sides plentiful, and your family gatherings filled with laughter and love (and maybe a little selective hearing).
