HAPPY HOLIDAYS,
IF ARE ANYTHING LIKE ME, YOU ARE DREADING THE HOLIDAYS SINCE TRUMP'S ELECTION.
SO, HERE ARE A FEW IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS IF THE EVER DREADED SUBJECT IS MENTIONED.

1. IF YOU ARE THE HOST OR HOSTESS SET BOUNDARIES LETTING FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW THAT THIS IS A POLITICAL FREE HOLIDAY WITH NO MENTIOND OF POLITICS. THERE MAY BE SOME THAT CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES, THAT ARE OF THE SAME POLITICAL PERSUASION, THAT MAY HAVE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION AMONG THEMSELVES. I WOULD OVERLOOK IT AS LONG AS NO ONE IS OFFENDED BY THEIR CONVERSATION.

2. THERE WILL BE THE RELATIVE OR FRIEND, THAT WILL NO DOUBT TRY TO BAIT YOU INTO A POLITICAL DISCUSSION. YOU COULD CHANGE THE SUBJECT OR JUST SAY THAT THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE LET'S TALK. MAYBE WE CAN GET TOGETHER NEXT WEEK.

3. THIS IS A RESPONSE THAT I USE A LOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, " YOU KNOW THIS IS WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT AMERICA. WE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINION AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CHANGE MY OPINION, JUST LIKE I KNOW THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR OPINION . WE JUST NEED TO AGREE TO DISAGREE."

4. ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER OR FAMILY OR FRIEND THAT BRINGS UP TRUMP, MAYBE SAY SOMETHING WITTY, LIKE "THANK GOD WE ARE EATING TURKEY AND NOT CATS OR DOGS. HOPEFULLY EVERYONE WILL LAUGH AND THAT WILL BE THE END.

THE ONLY WAY OUR RELATIONSHIPS WILL IMPROVE IN MY OPINION, IS TO CONTINUE TO KEEP POLITICS OFF LIMITS WITH THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE THE SAME VIEWS AND JUST ALLOW THEM TO COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY POST.
