I have endured a few terrible holiday family dinners. I’m talking about the ones where people yell and tears are shed. On the flip side, I’ve sat through a few mundane ones where I can’t wait to clear the dinner plates. Luckily, I’ve also enjoyed many where laughs are shared over silly stories and it’s those meals that are the most memorable.

I’m quite certain I’m not alone, right?

I encourage you to print out one or all of the family conversation starters we’ve created. Place the family-friendly questions in a mason jar or bowl on your dining table and start a new tradition.

Feeling silly or embarrassed about changing the dinner table conversation?

Don’t. You can have the small children at the table kick it off or just tell your family that you saw this great blog post or saw the idea on Pinterest. No one needs to know that you desperately don’t want to talk about football or whatever else it is that plagues your dinner conversation.
