Things You Never Talk About At Thanksgiving

Listen, family time can get tense. Avoid these topics and you get to avoid covering up a murder!

Politics

Time and time again, politics are like the herpes of table talk. It ugly when it's there and will goes away just to return inconveniently. Republican, Democrat, etc! HERE IS MY RULE: Anyone that brings up politics must make a financial donation to their party's opponent.

Religion

Usually religion lines up in a family setting, but for my atheist and agnostic friends, it can be a pain. Your (insert family member) pushing you back to church. I am Catholic, and I would never push my stuff on anyone. Religion is like a dick, be proud of it, but don't stroke it in front of company. Or jam it down their throat!

Family Controversy

The family has not been the same since Aunt Betsy wronged Mother In Law Jane. They sit at opposite ends of the table. I would say keep them separated. But if a fight erupts, you tell them to take it outside BRASS KNUCKLE STYLE. I remember two people fist fighting in high school becoming the best friends. Let's apply that principle and watch Grandma dislocate someone's jaw!

Marvel V DC

Yes, this has entered the realm. Since when did comic book nerds condone this Civil War. I get friendly competition but we are down right mean to each other. Remember when the enemy was bullies? Now we have divided ourselves into disgusting factions? What are we? Democrats and Republican. Comic Books are an escape, not a divide!

Jobs, Significant Others and ...Others

Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Parents have a habits of looking at their children and comparing them.

"I am happy your Fortune 500 company is treating you nicely, Johnny. So Bobby, How's serving coffee at Dunkins"

"Barbara, when are you gonna find someone? You are not getting younger"

Let's just be happy and be present!
