'Tis the season to talk about peace, love…and drama. We discuss the dynamics of spending the holidays with family when you're in a relationship, how to navigate the in-laws, what most couples are doing (and not doing), and our controversial opinion on spending every holiday with your partner. We also talk about family estrangement, our feelings on "Life is too short to fight with your family," and how to work through some of these hard situations. Then we share some of our listeners' hilarious/traumatic holiday experiences with partners' families that truly shocked us. And before we get into the topic, we're debating two polarizing shower behaviors, and Rayna has a big announcement! Enjoy!
