"Land Mines" to Avoid This Thanksgiving

The Huffington Post has published a list of a few “land mines” to avoid this Thanksgiving. These are things you should avoid doing if you want to maintain your sanity over the holiday. First, don’t believe that Donna Reed is real. No family ever really gets along that well. There is very little you can do to control your relatives, but you can control how you respond to them. Next, don’t overstay your welcome. Some hosts may not want you in the kitchen helping. Third, don’t overeat. Consuming 4,000 calories in one meal isn’t exactly healthy. Fourth: Don’t drink too much. The evening before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest bar drinking nights of the year—and police roadblocks are out in force. And finally, don’t forget to give thanks. Take a minute to reflect on what you have to be grateful for this year.
