Having moved from polls to poultry just in time for Thanksgiving, we are still facing political unrest as more election lawsuits loom. So we ask ourselves the same question we asked last year (and the year before): should we ban political discussion around the holiday dinner table?
Because many people are passionate about politics, you might not want to automatically ban partisan banter (or hats reflecting one's political leanings for that matter).
Even if you anticipate a palette of colorful personalities around the table, there may still be a way to enjoy both good company and good conversation.
