No matter which political party you belong to or which candidate you plan on voting for, I think we can all agree that this political season has been particularly exhausting.

Fewer Fights at Your Thanksgiving Table (Maybe)
9Because the election results will already be in, and we'll all just be tired of arguing, there will (hopefully) be fewer dumb arguments at your Thanksgiving table to ruin your meal.
