Who doesn't have classic Christmas crises with family or friends?
There is not a family in the world who gets along like the old television programme The Waltons - every little edge was smoothed very quickly, never a word spoken in anger, always putting each other first... that's some kind of fantasy family!
It would be lovely if we all got along like that but I've just posted an article on my homepage at "hot off the press" with advice for some classic family crises.
And just as we wish we could long perfectly with our families we also have problems with friends from time to time - usually these can be faced in the same way we face family issues - my article includes some tips for these issues.
TODAY’S TIP: you've got just over a week to think about those hot spots that occur in your family every Christmas. What can you do about them? How can you prevent them? There is always a tip or strategy you can use to make things just a little bit better this year.
Have a lovely weekend, I'm back here Monday, I'll be tweeting a few tips over the weekend, Pamx
