Over the holiday weekend, the Twitter hashtag #SurvivalGuideToThanksgiving showed that you can spin this awkwardness in your favor, if you’re smart.

For instance, if you bring up politics during Thanksgiving, no one will judge you for leaving the room, and eating your dinner alone, without being bothered.
1. Arrive at table
2. Say, “So, who’d everybody vote for?”
3. Spend day eating in another room unnoticed#SurvivalGuideToThanksgiving— Will Presti (@WillPresti) November 21, 2016
There’s also the chance that everyone will hate you, and simply leave you alone with all holiday goodies.
Never stop talking about politics and religion. You will find yourself alone with all the food. #SurvivalGuideToThanksgiving

Then there’s this guy, who for a price, will gladly talk politics just to piss off your family.

Or if you want to avoid the holidays altogether, just do this.
1. Take the whole week off work
2. Tell your family your working
3. Do whatever you want— Christeeeeenuh (@Christeeeeenuh) November 21, 2016
