20 – Home for the Holidays: Surviving Your Family (Part 1)

<p>Somehow it's that time of year again: family time. And what goes better with mashed potatoes and football than your annoying, exhausting, wonderful family?</p><p>In the first episode of our surprise two-parter, Sarah walks us through why visiting home or spending quality time with your family during the holidays can be truly torturous. From travel to finances to managing weird, complicated relationships, the holidays aren't full of cheer and merriment for everyone... or, anyone? Luckily Sarah came equipped with an arsenal of tactics to set yourself up for a realistic, doable holiday season even with your most difficult family members. In this first half, learn about preparing for the event and how to set your own expectations. Also, learn about all the construction going on around Dana's apartment.
