## Resource

Family gatherings can bring out old patterns fast. In this Christmas episode, Reggie and Brian share a practical survival guide for family drama: how to pre-game the gathering, time-box it, set spouse signals, choose non-negotiables, and use calm boundaries when the temperature rises. They talk through the bait topics (politics, religion, parenting, money, old wounds), how to avoid getting recruited into someone elses fight, when leaving is the right call, and why after-action debriefs and quick apologies are real leadership. The episode closes with Christmas memories, thankfulness, and a reminder that Christmas is about the birth of our Savior.
