Does Christmas cause conflict in your family?

It does in ours, but not in a worrying way.

In fact I’d say that I learnt a lot about conflict at Christmas.

We play a card game at Christmas called Manchester rummy.

As a kid I hated it, it took too long, people were mean, taking the cards that I wanted, but I played it anyway, because it was tradition.

Now I play it with my kids, and my sister plays it with her’s!

And yep, my girls do not always enjoy it.

I think games provide the perfect opportunity to learn how to cope with disappointment, frustrations and tension.

Do you have a game you play at Christmas?
