well, no, apparently not.
so let’s dig in!
thanksgiving can be stressful, especially in these unsettled times.
and family can be tough…
and they may not always understand you
it’s tempting to say, “well, just be yourself!”
but, well, people do not always love that…
i have found the key to successful thanksgiving conversation is twofold:
good preparation
clear communication of boundaries
nail that and you’re 3/4 of the way home.
the rest is just setting the scene.
proper serving vessels really help
and the right music can really set the mood as well!
and now, if you’ll excuse me
some of us are having an old friend for dinner…
Happy Thanksgiving to my neighbors below the 49th!
Thankful for you egm, and all my fellow gatopals on this substack.
So many of you make getting through these times with most of my mind intact possible.
