So, how about that Donald Trump?
Whether you think the current president is a genius or a doddering fool, discussions like that are a surefire way to make sure you don't enjoy your holiday meal.
And then Grandma thinks Aunt Rudy has put on a few pounds and may need diet advice, teenage Rebecca may be going a little heavy-handed on the makeup and need a tutorial from Aunt Karen ... or maybe the turkey is dry and mother-in-law wants to make sure it doesn't happen again.
It's bound to get ugly.
If only someone could help.
Hey Alexa, welcome to today's family squabble.
New research shows that most family disagreements on the holiday start at 6:30 p.m. Christmas day, and amazon programmed its smart speaker Alexa to do what she can.
If things get heated at home, you can ask Alexa to "change the subject." She'll respond with quizes you can do with the family like the best superpowers each of you wants to have.
Amazon describes it this way:
"Change The Subject is the ultimate skill for starting conversations and keeping things fun. To get started, simply say: Alexa, change the subject. She can ask questions to keep the conversation going, entertain you with facts, or just crack a few jokes to reduce tension."
Reviews overall are great so far. "This app offers great comic relief and a nice ice breaker for any conversation in need of some assistance!" one reviewer wrote on amazon.
