Nothing can derail a Thanksgiving day more than pointed conversations between your family, in-laws, or friends about divisive issues like this week's news, personal politics, or maybe the issues happening in your family.
The following questions are designed to help you connect and have a great time as a family no matter how big or small this Thanksgiving!
20 questions to ask around the table
Using the questions is easy, just alternate asking each other a question from the list. Pick any questions you like. The goal is to connect and have fun, not complete the list. Plus, you can always save the unused questions for future family conversations.
