The holiday season. A time for familial bonding, good food, presents galore, and more togetherness under one roof than you could shake a stick at (whatever that means). Maybe some you have the blessing of family dynamics that are practically perfect in every way. Ha, who are you kidding? We’re pretty sure even the most Disney-esque families can relate to at least one or two of these.
We thought about running this post before the holidays, but instead we thought it might bring more comic relief when the tension has just about reached its peak. Happy New Year, friends! Here’s to a great 2016!
