The Gallagher family is definitely a family that is more dramatized than most. However, the events of this family during the holiday's isn't so far away from the typical family activities on winter break.
When you come home and your mom gives you a list of chores to make up for the ones you've missed.
When you ask to make Jell-O shots for Christmas Eve for the family. 
When you get approved to make Jell-O shots.
When you see that weird uncle that no one wants to invite but feels they have to.
When you can't afford a Christmas present for everyone so you give them your love.
When you get to use your moms car to go to the store.
When your family asks what you've learned in college.
When you didn't get the present you asked for because you're a privileged kid in a small town.
When you stay up late to see santa and he hasn't come yet.
When it's time to go back to school and you have to pack everything back up again.
There is nothing better than holiday break told by the greatest series of all time. Good ol' Shameless.
