9 Questions We Need To Stop Asking At Thanksgiving
We all know that Thanksgiving usually gets surpassed by the biggest and brightest holiday of the season, Christmas, but that doesn’t make it any less special. It’s the perfect way to enjoy family and friends and an excuse to slip into your cutest autumn OOTD.
Any opportunity to gather with family is a reason to be grateful and thankful, but as so many of us know, these occasions are often more memorable due to their awkwardness and tension. You can disagree with your loved ones fundamentally and still cherish them as people, regardless of what the media says about cutting them out of your life. But we could all use a refresher on what is appropriate dinner table conversation and what isn’t. Here are 9 questions we need to stop asking at Thanksgiving.
1. When Are You Going to Meet Someone?
This should go without saying, but single people don’t need you to remind them that they’re single. The holidays are one of the hardest times to be alone – especially when it feels like everyone around you has someone. Even if the person this question is intended for has completely given up on dating altogether, let them be the one to tell you that; don’t go digging for it. Regardless of how much or how little info on their romantic life they give you, be supportive and loving. It’s a holiday, after all.
