A family Christmas Eve question


 

Hi, Dear Kindred Spirits,

I am so glad to have this wonderful group I can look to in questionable times; and this is one.

Last night, I spent Christmas Eve with my daughter, her husband, and 2 grandsons; 12 and 14.

Their family argued so much!? It got worse as the evening progressed.? I did the best I could to have a good time and share happily with all.? But, right in the middle of singing a Christmas Carol, my daughter got up to admonish her son, a bit argument?ensued (which I may have participated in because I didn't like my daughter chastising her son in the middle of a carol.? Then, a bit of their yelling ensued; resulting in my daughter stomping to her bedroom and refusing to come out.? That's how the evening ended.

I feel so sorry for their family!? What can I do to make the situation better?? Or, rather, what thoughts can I have which would help the situation the most!

Thanks for any words of Abe wisdom you can give me.

Thank you,?
Marsha
