Why is it that the holidays, which in my minds eye is a time to come together and share with loved ones near and far, bring out the worst in families?
Why do I sometimes feel like our budding branch of the family tree is the most rational and reasonable?
Why do some people feel the need to act slighted when they have never stated a desire to be met?
And why do those same people expect those around them to be mind readers?
Please forgive my obtuse rant. I hate family drama...and I may have innocently, accidently, started some.
And this is the kind of stress that makes getting together so hard. The kind of imagined problem that only hurts those we love. The kind that hurts MY nearest and dearest, and for that, I will be upset.
Looks like we're getting the fuzzy end of the candy cane--and it's not even December yet.

Family is such a complicated thing. Especially extended family and in-laws.
