Oh, what a holiday Thanksgiving is. The day’s rather disheartening backstory aside (we now know relations between the Pilgrims and Native Americans weren’t exactly as pleasant as elementary school led us to believe), traditions of gathering the entire family together — in one small space, no less — and gorging on turkey and side dishes are known for their … eruptive nature. Who doesn’t have a crazy Thanksgiving story?

What could go wrong by having Uncle Joe and Aunt Becky in the same room when the conversation switches to politics, religion or — gasp! — your ‘coming out’ moment? Well, as it turns out, a lot.
