50 questions to ask about Christmas

 

Do you struggle to have a good conversation over dinner during Christmas? If so, you're certainly not the only one. The strange thing is that while we often think in advance about the clothes we are going to wear, what exactly we are going to eat, what we want to drink with dinner, who we invite, many people don't think beforehand about the conversations they want to have.

The idea is that conversations will naturally go well. And fortunately, they often do. Now the advice often is not to discuss political issues, though. But suppose you have trouble finding fun conversation material, what can you chat about?

Fortunately, Christmas itself provides plenty of options. In particular, asking what is someone's favorite is a fine way of asking questions. Below is a comprehensive list. Especially of questions about traditions and memories I will give many examples.
