The holiday season can be a time of love, laughter and bonding, but it can also be a nightmare if your family gatherings turn into a deleted scene from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, as 'The Rules of Dealing with Family' shows.
Created by the ever-witty Christie Young of GOOD.is, this illustrated guide shows how to turn your grisly family get together into something slightly more bearable, and proves you're not alone in this matter.

Whether you're counting down the days until the next family gathering, or you'd rather be home alone eating fried chicken on Christmas, The Rules of Dealing with Family will provide a lot of laughs before the holidays.
