Today we’re talking about how to handle difficult family members over the holidays. Oh, this is a good one. 

Do you remember those holiday Coca Cola ads with the Norman Rockwell paintings? Rockwell perfectly captured the essence of what Christmas could be. You didn’t have the weird aunt that said:  will u look at my mole to see if it had changed. 

 There was no fighting at the kitchen table over who ate the last piece of fried chicken. Rockwell’s paintings were the essence of perfection in American culture.

We, on the other hand, were not. Our family was more like a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation, you tell a kid, hey: take the Christmas tree box to the garage and he hears: slide down the stairwell and break out 3 banisters.
