Politics at the table? Drinking the wine you brought? An etiquette expert's Thanksgiving dos and don'ts.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes spent most of their careers skipping the holidays — the news doesn’t sleep (or feast), and neither did they! Now the couple loves to bring their blended family of four daughters together for a cozy Thanksgiving meal.

At this point, they think they’ve got their Thanksgiving on lock. But when it comes to holiday etiquette, there’s always room for improvement — especially in a year when tensions can run high, no matter how tasty the turkey is. Can you talk about politics politely? Is there a delicate way to handle a cooking fail? How do you decide whose family you have dinner with?

Etiquette expert Elaine Swann has the answers. Here’s what she taught Amy and T.J. about the finer points of hosting, guesting and dinner table conversation.
