Squabble

On this Monday the question of the day will be "did you have a good Thanksgiving?" The standard answer will be "yes."

A New York Daily News survey showed that 68% of families had some sort of squabble before dinner was served. How serious the issue was not explored; however, knowing how deep a family can dig I'm guessing that some of these squabbles were pretty good the breaking the previous mood. The last thing any woman wants is a big fight before she puts the bird on the table. Holiday meals take a long time to prepare; made in hours yet minutes to eat away the goodness, provided the table was well set up ahead of time. Getting family and friends together is supposed to be a time of good cheer and for the most part it is, yet this statistic proves that perhaps a little therapy could be in order before the new year happens,

So instead of asking how her Thanksgiving was maybe the question should be flipped to who made your Thanksgiving most memorable; naughty or nice? There's a good chance she played the part of the cook, the hostess and the peacemaker and or perhaps the guest at this meal. And besides consuming numerous calories is there someone she is going to avoid sitting by next to at her next holiday meal?
