Every Sunday after church, my husband and I visit with a small group of friends at the cozy coffee shop near our parish. Most weeks, one friend poses a poll question, asking each of us to weigh in on a contentious topic such as, “Should men get pedicures?” or, “When is the appropriate time to start decorating for Christmas?”
Sometimes, the questions are meant to settle minor marital disagreements; other times, they’re merely to satisfy a point of curiosity. One of the more recent questions intended to provoke a vigorous debate was, “Thanksgiving turkey, yea or nay?” Among the six of us, there were two turkey lovers, two who eschew turkey for steak (thankfully, those two are married to each other), and two who insist on Thanksgiving turkey not for love of turkey but for love of tradition.
