If all is well within a family then Christmas can be fun.
However those year long conflicts can come to a head at Christmas time.
Do we need to spend so much time together could be a question for everyone to ask.
Rather than one person entertaining, go out to a restaurant for a good meal.
Spend more time with just your nuclear family.
Who does the Christmas dinner!
How much time!!
If there are little children, focus on them. Let the cousins have fun together. Watch them and stay away from conflicted conversations.
Take pictures and everyone try to smile.
I have many memories of Christmas being spoiled by someone bringing up issues at the Christmas dinner table.
Not pleasant. Not fair to the person preparing everything and trying to make it a good time.
So everyone be like Santa and say Ho, Ho, Ho.
