Giving thanks to the Lord: Religion is another topic that many recommend not to talk about with your family especially if there are different religions at the table. However, if done right with the help of these activities it can be a great topic that will keep everyone interested in the conversation. 

• So now’s a good time to tell your Catholic grandparents that God’s not real

Now’s your time to shine and share what you learned on Thursday. Don’t be afraid to express your thoughts and ideas at the table, the best thing you can do is to stir the pot. Nothing interesting comes from a “normal” conversation, try to think of the details of the last normal conversation you had. Exactly you can’t remember, make this Thanksgiving one for the books. 

Please note that this is a joke and was not intended to offend anyone. Have a nice Thanksgiving.
