1) Share: Avoid wanting to make everything
perfect. This just creates stress.
Remember what this is all about, being together, sharing and having fun.
Share what you are
grateful for.
2) Change: Change seating places during
your meal (between each course for example or for each meal of the day). A new
seating arrangement can give a different perspective and type of conversation
too.
3) The power of Silence: have 1 course in silence and use all your other senses -sight-smell-taste-feel-listen-touch to enjoy the time. Then, if you fancy you can discuss what you experienced.

4) Communication: - one at a time-every one takes turns in sharing something (may be something that was meaningful for the year or their achievement or something that was fun, why it is important to them) and everyone else
listens till it is their turn rather than everyone butting in with their bit.

5) Games: Have some games that aren’t
necessarily about anyone winning, like making the shapes of numbers with your
body
