Are the kids at your Thanksgiving celebration being too loud? Or, more likely, too quiet—bathed in the glow of an iPhone? Here's a solution: Open the door.
Especially if there are cousins around, give one of the kids a watch (explain that it's like a portable sundial). Tell them they can come back inside when the big hand reaches a certain number. Then, close the door behind them: adults stay indoors, kids play outdoors.
