Holiday seasons aren’t always filled with the hugs and laughter we see on commercials. Issues that are easy to avoid all year by avoiding family are more difficult during the holiday seasons. If you got out of Thanksgiving, you already know there is increased pressure to make Christmas!

We know older relatives may not be around much longer, but tragedy can hit at any age. Do you want to miss out on your nephew’s first Christmas or your grandmother’s last because you can’t stand your brother-in-law?
