What Not To Say: 18 Thanksgiving Conversation Mistakes In MN

Thanksgiving is such a fun day...and filling day! A few of my favorite foods show up, all at one time, and I get to eat as much as I want.

It's almost like they took the list below of 18 things to NEVER say at Thanksgiving as a challenge.
