Mom refuses to host Christmas dinner and only invites select family members, the rest of the family finds out, then demands to be invited as well: 'You host, then'

Every year, as we approach Christmas Eve, the biggest question that hovers above our heads is – Where are we going to spend the holiday? If you're lucky, you get to choose between a few options.

As a society, we are constantly being flooded with contradicting messages when it comes to self-love and care: ‘Be kind to others’, ‘Love thy neighbor’, ‘Put yourself first’, ‘Love yourself before loving others’, etc… These messages make it impossible to know when we're supposed to put ourselves first and when we need to put ourselves asi…
