Sometimes we get caught in traps in the hours we spend with family at Christmas. The TV is on, or there is a war in the kitchen, or we just keep thinking of the topics we can’t talk about. Don’t worry- you are not the only family with elephants in the room!
We suggest breaking out with some new conversation. Here are some ideas to get your juices flowing on what to talk about with relatives and friends over the holidays.
