Thanksgiving Conversation Starters

Get to know the people around your table.

Yes, I know you are related or co-workers or neighbors, but how well do you really know them?

This Thanksgiving: SEIZE the opportunity. Throw these questions in a bowl and start the conversations as soon as the deviled egg appetizers come out or wait until you are seated for the meal, the point is, just do it! We PROMISE you’ll learn something that you’re glad you now know.
