In holiday’s bustling embrace,
Family gathers, now a familiar face,
Yet, proximity breeds a subtle trace,
Nerves that fray, breaking the delicate space.

Around the table, where laughter once weaves,
Closeness sometimes deceives,
Tempers flare like autumn leaves,
A dance of discord, as tension cleaves.

Under twinkling lights and festive décor,
Bickering whispers begin to soar,
Quirks magnified, patience long wore,
Love endures, somewhere deep at the core.

In the midst of familial strife,
A reminder of the shared life,
Turbulent moments, like a fleeting strife,
Blend with love, a complex rife.

So, as relatives test our nerves,
In the holiday whirlwind that swerves,
Remember, in each bond that serves,
Within Family’s quirks is a love that preserves.
