Im writing this in June not christmas time but really feuds can virtually happen at any given moment if uncaring thoughts are shared to fuel the fire! But thoughtful stories that are shared can bring hope/light to an hot family feud: a million tender memories come to mind: adults behaving like children: It is possible that no one can annoy us like our own families, because no one knows us better, or where the soft spots are. And how quickly the forest fires start and the chasms widen. I am always saddened to hear people say that they have a brother or a sister whom they haven’t seen in fifteen or twenty years. Family feuds are so stressful for all concerned, even innocent observers. World peace may just be easier to achieve than peace in some families, but I think peace at home, with our families if far more important, essential to our well being, and dearer to our hearts. I would like to add by saying hope the fire is put out and the dust has settled but if Not that’s TRULY A SHAME! Some words are better left unsaid & I believe some prayers are needed here! oksi maka(until then)!

It's all so complicated, really, because it is so dependent on everyone. I am coming to realize that I can only do what I can do, and part of what I have to do is to let go of unreasonable expectations! Merry Christmas, and good things in the New Year. Powerful thougthts.

Family feuds are so stressful for all concerned, even innocent observers. It says something to me all these years later that I still remember how angry my great uncle looked when he spat out the venison, how distressed my grandmother looked, and how saddened my grandfather seemed. Even a 6 year old could see it. http://www.apsira.com/courses/index.php I hope that your holidays are feud-free. Family feuds are so stressful for all concerned, even innocent observers.

Family feuds were very common, especially right afterward and when many people wanted to find someone to blame. I still miss my mother, but am happy to say that the feuds are gone, at least for now. May you have very happy holidays!

I often recollect Christmas holidays in the childhood. It was super... Our family is very amicable... I live in Russia and I love your books very much and films of them.
