When you arrive at Thanksgiving, you'll have to join the relatives'
conversations. Beyond basic catching up, it's always difficult to find anything to
say to your family members. Keep conversations general. Don't discuss anything with
family that you wouldn't bring up with other complete strangers.
Also, keep in mind that your family wants the same thing from conversation you do:
something not very challenging. When joining the discussion, limit your input to
received ideas and essential concepts:
