For years, I've trod a similar minefield at family reunions, and like you I absolutely adore my family. But there was always a layer of tension, held in place by the Fox News shows and talk radio that was always playing somewhere in the background.
This year was different, and I sincerely hope it's a sign of changing times. This year, my parents appear to have sworn off Fox and extremist radio. Their politics are still out there, but it seems they've finally gotten turned off by the senseless propaganda.
Let's hope they're just the leading edge of a wave of sanity.
A happy, peaceful and safe holiday to you all.
