Bringing people together for the holidays doesn’t always mean bringing together similar cultural or political attitudes. Sometimes the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday can get lost between the second and third glass of wine, and family arguments obscure what really matters.
This year, add a little activity to your holiday table which will help remind everyone why they celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family. Seth Godin created a little free gift he calls “The Thanksgiving Reader.”
“The idea is simple: At your Thanksgiving celebration (and yes, it’s okay to use it outside the US!), consider going around the table and having each person read a section aloud. During these ten or fifteen minutes, millions of people will all be reading the same words, thinking about the same issues, connecting with each other over the essence of what we celebrate. After all the travel and the cooking and the hassle, for these ten or fifteen minutes, perhaps we can all breathe the same air and think hard about what we’re thankful for.”
