Central American immigrants and their families pray before Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 24, 2016 in Stamford, Connecticut.

November marks the beginning of a slew of holidays and celebrations with our loved ones. The time between Thanksgiving and the New Year can be an opportunity to come together with people we haven't seen in a while and catch up. But on the heels of the presidential election, differences in view could cause conflict. Ahead of these gatherings, the Up First newsletter team wants to hear from people who might have had disputes during past holiday celebrations. Your tips could help families and friends smoothly navigate complicated conversations.

If you have experienced a dispute during holiday celebrations, share your advice with us via the form below, and you could be featured in the Up First newsletter on Nov. 28. You can also share a photo and upload your answers as a voice memo. Please submit responses by Nov. 20.

See some of your responses — and get the news you need to start your day — by subscribing to our newsletter.

Your submission will be governed by our general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. As the Privacy Policy says, we want you to be aware that there may be circumstances in which the exemptions provided under law for journalistic activities or freedom of expression may override privacy rights you might otherwise have.
