When my mother was still alive ( last 1998 ) there was pretty much always a massive argument about something , never the stuff you've mentioned , but some massive topic , she would always take a " devils advocate " position , or just some rock solid position and argue hard " Ohh dont be so Ridiculous " is a term I can recall , I can't remember a Christmas back then without a massive argument , I recall once over the term " Ladies " ( ludicrous I know ) , so in part it was her death that ended it , and in part we no longer have those gatherings , on the rare occasion we do , there are no arguments , yet strangely as a 20 something , I never realised that she was the protagonist , yet it appears so obvious now. Irish decedents , probably too much alcohol , and weary from travel , the conflict appeared every year.
Happily here in Thailand , nice meal , kicked on , zero conflict , and I realised how much more I enjoy it with no conflict , at the same time I have not yet made contact with brothers / sisters , as we are spread across the globe. Had mother been alive , Im sure her" discussion topic " would have been Covid , or China , with a very firm view one way or the other.
We are two here - and 2 1/2 pets.
There's a tradition to NOT argue.
The worst that will happen is that I inquire if the Missus 'comments', or 'complains'.
If it's indeed a complaint: I blame the dogs :)
When we were all teenagers, my brothers had a silly argument that turned into a bloody fistfight. It was hard to stop them. So, my mom & I gave up yelling at them to stop. My dad kept his cool throughout their argument and the fight until it got bloody. With hardly any effort, he pulled & pushed them apart and told them he'd kick their asses if they don't stop fighting. Fortunately, they came back to their senses right away. Soon after, they washed up and changed their clothes and resumed eating on the dining table like nothing happened. However, they didn't talk to each other until New Year's Eve.
No thank goodness. The last two Christmas gatherings with my husband's family have been... traumatizingly dramatic lol so I was very thankful to have it go relatively smoothly.
My maternal grandfather died on Christmas Eve so my family's gathering was very somber, but we also never fight so...
My husband's family is... opinionated and not shy about their opinions. Also no one has the same opinions and everything seems to be a hill they're willing to die on. I'm still not recovered from Christmas Day 2020 lol

u I spent the day at home with only my girlfriend and Miss Ana, my furry friend. No arguments!
We will be saving ours for mid-January.
Well we did have a short discussion about who makes the best mince pies, if that counts!
I've remained this year sober while second Christmas evening with my aunts and cousins. They are all so self absorbed with themselves and I deflected and derailed most idiotic topics because I was fit, so I could easily avoid most pointless discussions.
Last year I've experienced a lesson about never drinking with people I don't trust.
Whenever we are about to leave the house and go to a friend's house we always end up being late. So as we rush to leave it's the panic that takes over that creates that chaotic feeling. Everyone starts yelling (especially mom 🤣) Some examples: get in the car, where are you, what are doing still in the bathroom, did you write a card, what about the presents... We really do try our best to prepare on time but it just never works.
No, but I did have a relative ask me multiple times of I liked their gift and if I could please give it back of I don't. This was after I called to thank them for the gift and talk about how beautiful and special it is. Why do people ruin gift giving by asking over and over for validation? I already made a fuss about loving it.
I was mad at my boyfriend because he's been too clingy and I really really need to have my space. He went home for the holidays but we planned a nice dinner together (through video call).
I wanted to spend Christmas eve with my friends and he was like "no but stay with me... bla bla bla" and was being a bit annoying. So we had a little argument about it on Christmas but it was nothing too bad. It lasted like 15 mins max😂😂
Yeah with me and my mom. I forgot to take her phone for tracking because I was busy arranging things. She asked me, "Are you really my daughter? Why do you always ignore me? " for some reasons I felt really low and still feeling low.
I forgot to finish doing the dishes, so mom got upset. My sister also complained and was about to throw a little fit because my mom made her give me an Angel pen that isn't even hers.
The typical family argument whenever we get together... cooking the meal, in particular whose job it is to get all the food pieces to be ready at the same time... that never happens, by the way,
I didn't because I didn't spend Christmas with my family and it was so fun and peaceful.
LOL is arguing a Christmas tradition? It's not for my family
Hahaaaa luckily no. We got that out of the way on the 23rd!
u nah, we don't do that during the Holidays.. baby jesus would not like it
I had a little argument with my mom because she let a priest to visit us on Christmas day and I wanted it to be just family. Also she forgot to buy some stuff therefore I had to go.
My mom always finds something to yell about why she has high blood pressure.
There was no arguments just bickering about wether or not one of my aunt's would show up.
Nope was all good. My sister was not there so that reduces the risk by 90%
I mellowed on our Xanax and Bourbon before arriving. So I was fine. Don’t remember much tho…
Lol. I did. But my parents always argue so it’s not just Christmas.
