Pyschology Today Explains Holiday Family Troubles.

Why do we put so much pressure on the holidays? Why is it so hard to be around people we love and with whom we share DNA?

Here's a real answer, from Psychology Today. Fascinating stuff. It covers blended families, negotiating Christmas after marriage, and Christmas when only one person in the marriage is a Christian. It also explains why your siblings and you resort to being 10 again!

This piece is from 1998, but is very illuminating. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer a lot of promise for better during your next big family holiday.
