Regarding the article on setting holiday dinner tables- YES! I know it is good to split up couples to encourage conversation but sometimes I haven't had a chance to see my spouse in a relaxed setting for days and just to sit next to him is a real pleasure. And I don't think anyone every has trouble talking over a table- conversation flows over a dinner party. That is what the wine is for! Cheers!
