What NOT to do on Thanksgiving Day

You’ve been invited to celebrate Thanksgiving…you want to get invited back, right?

Here are some things NOT to do on Thanksgiving Day, according to Huff Post:

Don’t bring something that requires cooking.  If the food you’re bringing requires oven space, clear it with the host first.

Don’t start tense conversations.  Don’t bring up things like politics, religion or family issues…you’re not changing anyone’s opinion over Thanksgiving dinner anyway.

Don’t pry into people’s personal business.  Avoid saying things like “Why aren’t you married yet” and “When are you having kids?”

Don’t assert yourself in the kitchen without being asked.  If you’re helping out in there, great…just don’t take over.

Don’t assume you can take home leftovers.  Don’t just start loading up your Tupperware…wait for the host to offer them.
