🥰🥰🥰 this is probably my favorite video of yours!!! I’ve been watching all your channels for years but this feels very personal! 😂 Really good advice! But I already feel this way and practice this so I’m going to send this video to a few family members 😉😂. Also The letter to Jesus…beautiful tradition!❤
I haven't seen your videos in quite some time. Today I came to look for you and I believe God has really spoken to me through you today. My sister and I are not speaking and I feel like the Lord really just called me out through you. Thank you for being His vessel. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Nikki! I love your channel. I'm so glad I found you. I think what you said about not pressuring the family to do stuff will relieve a lot of stress. Thanks for sharing 😊🤗
What a great video for us to watch. It made me reflect a lot about some people I have been away with because of family fights. Maybe this Christmas season is the right time to get over all of this and make amends. I love the letter to Jesus thing. I am a Christian and have never done that. I will definitely be doing that this year. Thanks for sharing this video.
Basically, put your big girl pants on and take the higher road. I think this is not only a good lesson for family gathering, but life in general. Nikki always knows best.
I love Scrabble, I should bring it? My dad has it too, I think. My grandma taught me how to play it. My uncle and I would visit her at the retirement facility place. We would play in a lounge or the library. I made a 2-letter word list. I literally went through the dictionary and wrote them all down. Now you can probably just print one off from the internet. Every time I play, I think of Grandma. She had this problem where she had like 5 pairs of glasses, and she would tell my uncle, no, I wanted the other glasses. I'm farsighted.
Thank you dear Nikki! Blessed are the peace makers! That's YOU🙏❤️ We try to host certain family members on separate days, and we Never talk about others who are not there (gossip/ slander) but my husband and I make a huge attempt to pour out our best in food, decor and love on each gathering of guests. And honouring Our Saviour Jesus and loving others is the main goal. Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family 🎁✝️ Raven❤️
Nikki, I’m so happy your are back in your element of posting…I have missed you. All families are complicated.Thank you for all the great ideas…Lenora from Ga.
THE BELL! Omg this is what my mom and I need! We always start off good natured and it always goes south, the bell is brilliant (and a dream come true for my husband!).❤❤❤
Thanks Nikki!! Love your great tips! Personal, realistic, & very necessary advice. Much appreciated. Abundant peace & blessings to you all. Please be safe & pray without ceasing. Happy Holidays!👌🏽💖🤗🙏🏽
Gosh, this was great advice -- well thought out and very specific. I was blessed with family that all got along with each other. Let's all enjoy the day and be grateful -- not always easy even if you do get along! Happy Thanksgiving!
I am so fortunate that I don’t have any of this in my family! Whatever issues we might have with one another do not affect the entire family. My husband’s family is mostly the same. We do have a niece and nephew (brother and sister) that don’t speak to each other (so sad!) but that is their problem! They just avoid each other! And you are spot on with the alcohol! The only alcohol I serve is the eggnog!
Nikki, that's a good idea, write a letter to Jesus. I sometimes have a prayer journal where I write out my prayers. I'm Christian. Not everybody is practicing in my family, so we all can't do that. My birthday is NOV 30th, so we will be celebrating it the same weekend. My uncle's sometimes lands on Thanksgiving.
Thanks for your advice! I have to face the inlaws/my family in New York/cold weather that makes me cranky...just uhhh..dreading it already... definitely have to whip out that wine and lots of it lol
This was a good one. As the hostess for many events I find it so rude for people to bring up and complain about politics! I put so much work into a nice meal and event. I wish others could so see this.
Great advice! Some really good ideas about activities and frame of mind! Yes, minimize the alcohol. I used to be a nurse, and we would always get trauma patients at any holiday, tensions exacerbated by alcohol. Gunshot wounds, stabbings, fist fights. I had one patient whose brother stabbed him in neck; both drunk. No holiday fun there. Also, can you change your font to black. White on white is pretty hard to see. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving.
This is the funniest video I’ve ever seen! I wonder if your suggestions would work or a family member of mine would throw the bell off the balcony, along with the person their fighting with? Happy Holidays!!!!
I don't think I've every seen this topic discussed in a holiday prep series. You have great suggestions.
Nikki is a great role model! I've learned so much from her channel 😁

Love this type of video. Way outside of the Norm of Tree decorating, Tablescapes, Meal Preps, Recipes, etc. TFS
Nikki you are so adorable. Thanks for the enhancement course..love you so much.
Wonderful advice, thank you.

Thanks for these tips Nikki! I have a bit of anxiety over being around difficult family members this holiday.
Thanks Nikki! I love your channel. I'm so glad I found you. I think what you said about not pressuring the family to do stuff will relieve a lot of stress. Thanks for sharing 😊🤗
Great Advice as always Happy Holiday to you

Love that you make the activities optional.

Thank you. This is just what I needed
Excellent video! One of your best!

I would invite one family member for thanksgiving and the other for Christmas so they would not be at my home at the same time. Lol
LOL ...Too funny...Great idea though... 😂
Great tips.......
How can I love this?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just don’t show up 😁
That's what I always say 😉
For my mental health, I stopped showing up to my Moms side of the families events.
💯
I clicked on this so fast lol
🥰
Nikki, my family was a lot better after the divorce.
I always heard there are 3 things you should never talk about in a gathering 1.Politics 2. Religion 3. Money (and a new one 4. Views on the jab)
Too late!! Yikes
This is so real thank you
