\"nfl_thanksgiving\"<\/a>According to Good Housekeeping<\/a>, Peggy Post,\u00a0<\/strong>a director of the Emily Post Institute<\/a>:\u00a0Yes, but maybe, not.<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> During Thanksgiving dinner, your father-in-law insists on watching football. You feel this detracts from family quality time. Do you shut the TV off?
\nAnswer \u00a0<\/strong>PEGGY SAYS: As hostess, your role is to make everyone feel comfortable. For your father-in-law, comfort means watching the game.

It’s up to you to find the right balance for all your guests.<\/p>\n

Peggy Post has written 10+ books on etiquette issues.<\/p>\n
