For many families, the holiday season is one of the few times a year that family members from near and far gather together. Exchanging of gifts and sharing meals is on most people’s agenda, but we might consider adding something else to our holiday list: family discussions. Some topics might be difficult to talk about, but these conversations are very important. Our guests on the show help explain how.

Bob Mauterstockis a retired financial planner and author of several books on family communication. His most recent is Your Successful Family Meeting Checklist, Eight Steps to a Family Conversation That Works. 

Deborah Warner is Minister at the Church of the Messiah in Woods Hole.
