You’re spending more time than usual with the people closest to you. It’s not always peachy and wonderful. Sadly, the time that we look forward to spending together often ends with a feeling of, “Thank G-d it’s over.” That’s because, while we love our extended family, sometimes when we’re in close quarters with the same…
