Thanksgiving manners for dinner guests
“Showing grace is just as important as saying grace at your Thanksgiving meal,” says Deborah Ritch. “Knowing the proper mealtime etiquette makes the right impression on family and friends at your traditional gathering. Good manners are also expected of children and young adults. Give them a few lessons in the days and weeks leading up to the gathering. Correcting them at the table is too little too late, and will only disturb the other guests.”
