For families who want to enjoy a farm-fresh, home-style meal from Bob Evans, but want to celebrate the holiday in their homes, Bob Evans is once again offering the popular Farmhouse Feast, which must

New Albany, Ohio (PRWEB) November 21, 2016 -- Today, Bob Evans announced a partnership with The Emily Post Institute to create the Holiday Help from the Farm campaign. Holiday Help from the Farm combines the wisdom and beliefs of Bob Evans, whose life was dedicated to hospitality, with the renown and knowledge of The Emily Post Institute, to take the stress out of the holidays and keep the focus on what matters: time with family and friends.

Today, Bob Evans announced a partnership with The Emily Post Institute to create the Holiday Help from the Farm campaign.

Post this

Emily Post's name has become synonymous with proper etiquette and manners. More than half a century after her death, her name is still used in reference to manners, which Emily Post defined as a sensitive awareness to the feelings of others. As part of the Holiday Help from the Farm campaign, Lizzie Post, the great, great granddaughter of Emily Post, will be offering hosting and entertaining tips and tricks that can simplify the holidays.

The election is over, but there is sure to be political talk around the holiday table. Politics is just one of the many topics that can derail the discussions at the holiday gathering. To keep the conversations from getting ugly, Lizzie has a few tips on how to handle:

  • Set ground rules before the meal even begins by saying something like, “It has been a crazy year so I would like us to refrain from any political or religious discussions at the table. There are so many positive things to catch up on so let’s concentrate on that.”
  • Redirect the conversation. If there are still contentious conversations happening, don’t correct, redirect! Say, “John, I’d love to get away from politics (or finances, religion, romantic drama, etc.) and hear about your vacation to the Grand Canyon.”
  • Make it personal and encourage the discussion. If a guest tries to redirect the conversation a few times and it is not working, as the host, it is completely appropriate for to say, with a smile and a confident tone, “We are finished talking politics at the table. Kelsey, what did you put in these delicious potatoes?”

Here are some additional thoughts from Lizzie that will help make sure holiday gatherings go smoothly:

  • Plan in advance so the host can enjoy the holiday, greet each guest as they arrive, and make everyone feel special and appreciated.
  • Mentally prepare yourself to roll with the punches. Things always go wrong but as long as the host remains calm, the holiday event will be a success.
  • Keep the focus on friends and family. It doesn’t matter if the turkey burns or the table is not set to perfection, the most important thing is that the guests feel welcome.

For anyone who has a question about entertaining or is anxious about attending a family gathering, there are a few ways to find the information they need:
