How To Handle Your Family During The Holidays

By Kirsten F. 

The holidays are that special time of year where families come together in fellowship and love. However, the holidays are also a time where your personal space and your life gets invaded by relatives you see only once a year. 

It’s like the second you walk in your grandma’s house the questions start flying or sometimes the rude remarks. You know what I’m talking about; those “oh you’re looking a little big girl.” or the “sooooo what’re you doing with your life.”  The questions that start to make your back sweat a bit, simply because you don’t have an answer for them! Listen, I know it’s hard to come home sometimes in during the holidays, sit around and have your family dissect every aspect of your life. 

Don’t fret though, just answer their questions as honestly as possible or better yet... Don’t answer them at all. There’s NOTHING rude about not wanting people who you rarely see all up in your business. Besides everyone has that one cousin who has already told everyone’s business by the time Christmas dinner has been served. 

Everyone’s family is different of course, but one thing will forever remain true... Your business is EVERYONE’S business! My advice to you is this; have a home girl on standby to come scoop you up when the heat gets to be too much! I am notorious for calling my friends to come over to my families houses for Christmas. If the party dies down, or I just don’t want to be bothered for whatever reason, and I didn’t drive.... I call one of them and we go celebrate in our own way! That usually means sitting at someones house drinking wine, and watching whatever Christmas movie comes on TV. 

The point I’m trying to make is this; You don’t have to disclose information about yourself if you don’t want to. Truthfully, you don’t have to interact with family members at all if you don’t want to. Remember this though, no matter how crazy your family is (and I mean crazy in a wild way not an abusive way) they’re still YOUR family. All of the wild stories, and trips down memory lane are worth the time spent dodging questions.  The holidays can be stressful, and sometimes they can just be down right draining, but if you have a family that loves you and accepts you... Spend some time with them. 

Families are whatever you what them to be, whether they be connected by blood or by friendship. Happy holidays everyone, spread a little love and joy wherever you are in this world.

Happy Holidays everyone! We wish you a merry whatever it is that you celebrate and we hope that your holidays are filled with love and tasty treats! 

Just a heads up, we will NOT be posting any new articles next week! We will see all of your bright and shiny faces after the new year! What are some of the things that you are leaving behind in 2016? What about some of the new things that you want to try in 2017?  We’re interested in hearing what you all have planned for the new year! 

It’s been 6 months since we began On The Edge, and we are amazed at how much it has grown. It’s not always the smoothest or the easiest to get content out in a timely manor. However we are proud of the community we have created in our corner of the internet. Do us a favor, use next year to bring your wildest dreams to life. 

xx Happy Holidays
