Our relationship with our family is one of the most complicated that we'll have, because no matter how much we will always love them, they are also the ones that can get under our skin the most, that can drive us crazy more than anyone else. During the holiday season, when we find ourselves in the presence of multitudes of loved ones, it is often a challenge to remember how we are related to these people or what it is that makes us love them so much. Regardless of the chaos, we continue to love our family no matter what. However, in the midst of family turmoil, here are 12 thoughts everyone has during holiday family dinner.
