Many of us spend the holidays seeing people who are easier to love in theory than in practice. From sitting next to your nosy uncle to meeting your daughter’s girlfriend, there is serious potential for things to get awkward, if not, dangerously offensive. On today’s Forum, we want to hear about the sticky family situations you’re facing on Thursday and offer you advice on how to handle it with wit and grace. So, tell us — what situation do you need help navigating on Thursday?
