Here Are The Top 10 Things Families Let Ruin Their Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Believe it or not, every family has some sort of craziness happening on Thanksgiving. Whether it’s before you get to your place of destination or when you are sitting there at the dinner table, there’s always something to light a fuse.

Many people have strong opinions about how to cook the turkey, what side dishes to serve, and who has to clean up.

Family traditions die hard and new ideas aren’t always welcome.

Here are my top 10 things families allow to mess up their day of thankfulness

  1. When to eat
  2. What to do before you eat
  3. How to cook the turkey
  4. How to cook the stuffing
  5. How to cook the potatoes
  6. Politics discussed at the table
  7. Where to seat the kids
  8. What to serve for dessert
  9. Can the TV be on during dinner
  10. Cell phones at the dinner table
  11. Shopping on Thanksgiving

As we all know, Thanksgiving isn’t always the harmonious holiday it’s sometimes made out to be, but if we try to avoid these pitfalls, you might have a better, relaxed day.
