The holiday season is a time for joy and connection, but one heated topic can derail the celebration: politics. As a host, you have the power to set the tone for a harmonious gathering by steering conversations toward lighthearted and inclusive topics like traditions, travel, or favorite memories. If discussions take a political turn, gracefully redirect with humor or a simple question about holiday plans. Thoughtful strategies, such as setting expectations in advance, providing conversation starters, and leading by example, can help keep the focus on celebration and togetherness. This holiday season, make your gathering memorable for all the right reasons—by keeping the peace and letting the holiday spirit shine.
