The day where family and friends gather and awkward things said at the dinner table are forgiven (fortunately for me).

So this year, to help break up any potentially controversial political conversations or arguments over well spacing, here’s a great list of questions a friend of mine came up with for a corporate retreat to get to know your table mates better.

1. What movie do you recommend you Just have to watch?

2. At a yellow light, do you speed up or slow down?

3. Is your best accomplishment in the last 365 days personal or professional? What?

4. What would you learn in the next year?

Next, if you are driving somewhere and need a new podcast, I’ve posted a new favorite of mine in the comments – ‘Hidden Brain’. This is their Thanksgiving special on the the psychology of envy and schadenfreude.

Finally, it wouldn’t be Turkey day without a little thankfulness. At the top of my list is health. I know a lot of people who are going through and have had health struggles and my thoughts are with you. Fight hard. F cancer.

Carpe diem.
