The Holidays are coming! While we all anticipate Thanksgiving, most times we are disappointed after the event. Why? Because Thanksgiving is like giving birth. We anticipate this delicious dinner with a Mom serving in her 1950's apron, the perfect turkey, the buffet table lined with all the side dishes we remember, prepared exactly like we remember and everyone sitting down in nice clothes with interesting converstation to go around.
In reality, when the dinner is finally put on the table, it is painfully not like anything we usually conjure up in our imagination. The turkey is full of antibiotics and practially glows, no one makes green bean casserole anymore. Who has a Mom that cooks? And all we can talk about is being laid off and pounding the pavement for job opportunites. So we drown our sorrows and get sloshingly drunk.
But it can be different...I promise and as you know, Amanda Piper-Smith, never breaks a promise. All this week I will give tips on how to have a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving...okay maybe a Picassoish one.

30 Second Manners
The next time you say hello to someone, look them in the eyes. Hello is a greeting; not just a word you blurt out like a sneeze. If you're lucky enough the person you say hello to responds...ask them how they are...sincerely. Sincere is the key word here. You will be amazed at the responses you get. It will open all kinds of doors for you literally.
