As such, even in the face of disagreements, respecting the viewpoint of a friend or relative can go a long way toward a peaceful Thanksgiving.
Consider steering clear of touchy subject matters
In 2023, it can be tough for people to discuss certain issues without things getting heated or emotional. If this turns out to be the case for anyone at the Thanksgiving dinner table, some topics may be better left not discussed.
Not poking the bear goes a very long way, after all. At the end of the day, most people know what tends to ruffle the feathers of their friends and other loved ones. Making the judgment call to leave certain issues alone may therefore be the best course of action for everyone.
Remember you love each other
Over the past several years, a disturbing trend has emerged of families and friends cutting off one another due to opposing perspectives on political and social matters.
During Thanksgiving, it’s important to remember that the love family and friends share should be greater than politics or other controversial topics. This holiday is a moment to celebrate, spread good cheer, and be grateful for all of the blessings in our lives.
