Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays will soon be upon us. Some of us are already making preparations and plans for how we will spend these holidays. the holidays are a good time for family and friends to spend quality time together. How do you handle it when some members of your family are not getting along with each other do you still invite them all to your family holiday gatherings?

I invite everyone, if there are problems between someone then i tell them simply Everyone is invited if you don't want to come you don't have to but if you do then you MUST be on your best behavior, make an effort. If anyone starts causing trouble then deal with it appropriately. Personally I pull said person aside and remind them of my conditions if that doesn't work then i just ask them to leave if they can't control themselves.

hi sender easy just remind all that we are family and we will not be having silly fights at holiday time. Whoever starts up something, take
'that person aside. You will behave yourself at my home or you will leave the table and the room, is that understood? and do not for goodness sake
seat those who squablle with each other side by side.Be firm and the first sign of trouble get the troublemakers to take it outdoors or
preferably take it to thier homes. just do not tolerate any type
of fighting.
