Dealing With Family During Holiday Gatherings

For many, holiday gatherings symbolize struggles with family members who we tend to avoid the rest of the year. This holiday season, I would like to invite you to see your family gatherings as wonderful opportunities to heal. Instead of being in resistance to that aunt that makes you wince every time your hear her voice, or to your mom who literally drives you nuts with her compulsive nagging, or to your dad who is a master at judging your decisions, think of them all as gifts.
