Kye, were your daughters not talking to each other at some point?
I like spending Christmas with Frank's family, but I can't help his mother with a lot. I could do a lot more at my parents' place.

Kye, were your daughters not talking to each other at some point? That's right, Kaylee, but they finally worked it out. I'm very relieved! |

Wow, I've had tough times with my sisters, but never so bad we didn't talk at all. How does that happen?

I argue with my sisters occasionally but I don't think we've ever been on 'I am never speaking to you again' terms  |

Neither have we. But we don't get to see each other very often. My youngest sister is going to visit me on Saturday and I think the last time we saw each other was September 2011.

That's an interesting way of doing it - wouldn't be allowed in Mordor, of course.

Our son's going to visit us next month from Australia. I enjoy very good relations with my sister and brother. My brother and his family live in Newcastle now, and they are visiting us next month. We will go skiing together |

My sister and I do great nowadays, as long as we're not locked up together for much longer than 12 hours...  |

Awkward situation indeed, for mom too.

I once knew two almost identical twins who went out with each other's boyfriends to see how long it would take for them to notice and actually air their suspicions. Can't remember exactly what happened but I don't think it took them very long, I think a lot of it was being sure enough to say it; imagine if you got that one wrong! Even in the time I knew them, they looked and sounded so similar that I struggled to tell them apart some days. |

I had twins in my korfball team. I had to wait till I heard them talk to know who was who. Their voices were similar, but the way they said things made it clear right away (to me anyway, quite different characters those two).

I argue with my sisters occasionally but I don't think we've ever been on 'I am never speaking to you again' terms Sometimes 'silly' things just happen and things break (or seem to) .. (As you know) I don't have any biological siblings but do have a cousin. Mum brought us up together. We are very close and have a brother / sister relationship. One day she just disappeared and broke off all contact, only to get back in touch eighteen months ago after a gap of eighteen years! Some of the people around us now (who never knew the other in the past and don't understand the relationship) have a bit of a problem (that may be a slight under statement?!) with how we can be so close and just pick up where we left off like nothing happend, but if you are lucky enough to have that sort of relationship you don't waste it or let anything or anyone spoil it. Last Christmas was best in a long time. Don't know yet what shape this Christmas will have but the details don't matter as long as we are together. |

That must have been a very heartfelt reunion, weave.

About Christmas, don't tell my hubbie, I hate preparation for Christmas, I hate big meal that is not particularly delicious but obligatory: especially it involves my mother-in-law preparing some part of it! I'd rather eat pop corns or toasts for Christmas.

I suspect your Christmas meals are delicious. Poles tend to eat the same things every year, or maybe it's only us  |

I guess everywhere. there's tradition, people will eat more or less the same.

I guess everywhere. there's tradition, people will eat more or less the same. I came from a culture where there is no Christmas dinner. Chinese eat a lot on New Year's Eve too. But there are more choices for different kinds of dishes (traditional or not ) than in Poland. In general, I hate eating big meals. It takes away the pleasure of eating. |

As a teenager, I used to love the 20lb turkeys with all the trimmings, and the Christmas pudding, followed at teatime by salmon salad, trifle and Christmas cake. I didn't care that it was the same last year.

Our tradition was cabbage rolls on Christmas morning. My auntie used to make them on Christmas Eve and they'd cook all night. Yum! |

Agreed. The big roast turkey happens at most twice a year. And all the yummy side dishes can be varied to suit different tastes. And all the christmas cookies and cakes my mum bakes are so tasty. Love the whole christmas meal.
