Channel 4 asked me to come in to help with their segment on ‘Surviving the Holidays’ and to answer viewer questions.
Here is a sneak peak into the questions posed by viewers via the Channel 4 Facebook page for this segment:
- What is the most surprising etiquette rule people don’t seem to understand at Thanksgiving?
- My Aunt insists on bringing her ‘special’ cranberries to the dinner each year spiked with heavy amounts of ginger. No one likes it but her, but is it rude to have my own recipe on the table?
- My Uncle uses each Thanksgiving dinner to start a political rant. Should we call him a day ahead and say politics are off the table? And who can I pay to make this call?
- My sister was divorced this year but I love her ex-husband and he’s all alone this Thanksgiving. She is out of town so is it disloyal for me to invite him over?
- We rotate Thanksgiving in my family. I love fine china, but my brother serves dinner on paper plates! Can I suggest we want dinner on real plates if I offer to do the dishes?
- What is the best way to cute my mother-in-law off when it comes to how many glasses of wine she drinks?
