Now you may be wondering at this point: what should you talk about around the dinner table? Bring up fun things like sports, tv, music and movies. Play classic party games when dinner is over. Let your family members bring up school, work, or their current relationship status on their own so they don’t feel put on the spot. And if you’re hit with one of these topics, and the other person won’t back down, by all means ask the hard questions right back. After all, Thanksgiving is meant to bring out the best in families, right?
