How to handle Thanksgiving dinner arguments (from Bluesky)

[QED]

When your relatives start arguing at Thanksgiving, calmly grab your favorite serving bowl of food like you're going to the kitchen to refill it, and just don't come back. Quietly escape with your favorite food.

Hm...trying to think which I'd run off with - the stuffing or the mashed potatoes.

1. I'd go with the stuffing!!

2. I would add...

…don’t argue with your mouth full-risk of choking.

3. I would take the stuffing. Mine all mine

4. Toss up for me.

It would be between the dressing (similar to stuffing but a side dish) or the green bean casserole. Maybe I'd take both.

5. I prefer Leslie's method

8. In my childhood Thanksgiving marked the start of the Great Christmas Wars.

None of the adults agreed how, when, or if Christmas ought to be celebrated. They came to fight.

When I was nineteen, home from college, I was so stressed out by this I simply got in my car and left, which marked the beginning of some of the worst years of my life, including times of homelessness, but that's another story.

After the last of my grandparents had passed away my parents quit celebrating Christmas and our Thanksgiving and winter family gatherings became much more peaceful.

My brother likes to cook and I think he always took his refuge in the kitchen -- before, during, and after Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody's going to argue with the big guy holding a knife.
