Summary
Everybody ready to play holiday family feud?! There’s just no way around it — holidays with the fam can be overwhelming, unnerving, and sometimes just downright explosive! Why do we go at it with the ones we love and how can we survive the minefield of raw emotions, loose cannons, and inappropriate attitudes? Well, Nikki and Malone are getting professional help on the age-old tradition of walking on holiday eggshells with Associate Professor of Couple & Family Counseling, Dr. Laura Tejada. And our own Dax Jordan and his wife Kristin Wall join the convo, too, for a wild ride through their own holiday hoopla.

Look, I don't know about you, but getting together with relatives during the holidays can kind of feel like tap dancing through a minefield, if you know what I mean. It can be an exercise in patience to survive a big dinner with all the crazy relatives. |
| 1:15.8 | I mean, there's your grandma who gives the kids so much candy that they bounce off the walls, |
| 1:19.0 | and then they melt down, and that's fun. |

| 1:46.0 | And it's all about getting along with family during the holidays today on Call Me Curious |
