Keeping the Peace in Holiday Gatherings

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Intentionally Catholic, hosts Dan Hansen and Father Ron Hutchinson discuss strategies for maintaining joy and peace during holiday family gatherings. They offer practical advice on keeping conversations light and focused on positive shared memories, playing games, and having a 'do not engage' policy on controversial topics like politics and religion. They emphasize the importance of setting a good example through actions rather than arguments and offer anecdotes and personal insights to illustrate their points.
