Family unity. It will never happen, but it is something I wish for, constantly. However, I make the best of it. I get to have four Christmas dinners, instead of one.

That must be tiring.

Nah. It's spread out over a week. Not all in one day😏😊.
It's just that this one won't go if that one will be there and the other one doesn't like anybody. It's a typical, dysfunctional family, but I stopped trying to get us all together in the same place because, like other dysfunctional families, when they're all together they snipe. I may have to do four separate Christmases (and other things like thanksgiving) but at least each event is peaceful and happy. No fights.
I can't make people behave as I want them to, so, I just love them as they are. Happily, they love me as much as I love them.
