Families are complicated, because people are layered and individuals. Remember, we all are just looking for someone who cares enough to try to understand and accept us. Watching clips of some of my fav holiday movies.

New family members cycle in and out over the years. It's a continual adjustment. ☺️

And sometimes we extend our circle to people who need it. And they become part of us. Maybe forever, maybe just a day.
This is the way. ♥️

Don't forget to laugh this holiday. It's good medicine. And sometimes all we can do.

@CinnamonGirlE “people come in and out of your life like bus boys”. Richard Dreyfus in Stand by Me.
@MidnightRider true. But some stay.
The Family Stone is one of my favorites!

Mine too! My daughter and I have assigned each family member a character 😂
And...who are you? 😉
@ChelseaGirl429 probably the least interesting. I am the mom of course 😂😉
Another favorite that centers on a family Thanksgiving is Home for the Holidays. Think I may watch that one in the next few days.

I can't watch Family Stone enough, and I cry every time like it's the first time. Excellent movie.
@JoyfullyDazed @ChelseaGirl429
Me too Lisa, which is at least once a year. Sometimes more.
@CinnamonGirlE One of the best managers I ever had, read some poem about, “It’s best to hold hands when you cross the road” he was a unifier, and magical human being. When he ran point, our whole team was Red Rover.
@MidnightRider "unifier" these people are the healers, the magic, the beauty in the world. You were fortunate to have had him in your sphere.
Everyone in this flick just KILLS it. But poor Cynthia Stevenson…😱🤣
I loved the mom character--AND the house!
@ChelseaGirl429
I loved the whole dysfunctional lovely crazy family. Because it's real.
Yes.... Sadness mixed with joy, anger, and hilarity.
@ChelseaGirl429
Hope all of ours is filled more with joy and hilarity. We have had enough anger this year.
Tear jerker 😢
