Maybe your aunt decided that Christmas dinner was the perfect setting to air all her grievances with your grandparents, and that nobody could eat until she'd finished talking."

"Perhaps your brother waited until the DAY OF to announce that he and his new girlfriend would be crashing on your couch for the holidays. Or maybe your mother-in-law decided she would only be giving presents to some of the grandchildren, depending on how much she liked them. Tell us about the wildest, most toxic thing a family member has done to ruin your holidays. Leave your story in the comments or fill out the anonymous form below."

Holidays can combine joy with significant stress when extended family gathers for prolonged periods. Family members sometimes behave toxically in ways that derail celebrations and create lasting tension. Examples include an aunt monopolizing Christmas dinner to air grievances and preventing anyone from eating until she finishes, a brother announcing last-minute overnight guests who will crash on the couch, and a mother-in-law selectively giving presents only to favored grandchildren. The prompt encourages people to share wildest toxic holiday incidents via comments or an anonymous form, with some responses possibly featured in a future community post.
