Have you ever considered making a change to avoid the usual gathering of relatives staring at the their gadgets? Perhaps this year is the perfect time to start a new holiday tradition!
Talk to the people you drove to visit.
Leave your phone in the car.
It is OKAY to unplug.
After all, you don't really want your family photos to turn out like THIS....do you?
Print out and post on the front door if you are the host for Thanksgiving dinner.
If you are the one worried about making conversation, start a list of topics, ideas and questions to bring up. You might even be surprised how others enjoy participating. (Google conversation ideas for more suggestions).
Enjoy your time together and let the joy of the season shine through. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Sincerely,
Andrea Baumann
