ST RICT LY T WEENS Holiday St ruggles How to survive the holidays with lots of family? My family personally doesn’t let you get away and hide in your room the whole night. Which I guess is a good thing because for me personally, I regret taking for granted my great grandma. I feel so guilty for not spending time with her whenever she was always so kind to me. So, spend time with your family because you don’t realize how much you need them until they are gone. Surviving the holidays with your least favorite family members can be hard. Just try to ask them how it’s going because they really appreciate it when you do that. Then just try to hang out with your cousins and be involved. Also, help cook dinner or set the table.
