Kevin did end up missing his family and his mom really tries to reunite with him both times

The Take being like: "Are you too stressed about the holidays? Get stoned!" I appreciate it, I will get stoned.

Kevin McAllister wasn't living it up at Christmas, he was trying to protect the family home from burglars.

And this is why so many people love The Grinch. He lives on a mountain to get away from the lunatics.

My family gatherings for the holidays usually consist of just 5-10 people, the only reasons it can be chaotic sometimes because each of us have a healthy degree of crazyness😅.

[@kamsismith]

Not everyone celebrates Christmas as there are Hanukah and Kwanzaa. For me, some family members come over while we visit them on some years. The holidays are cool but also a pain in the butt.

[@trinaq]

Neat, that sounds fun, everyone has their own holiday traditions, and they're usually enjoyable, albeit stressful.

Home for the Holidays is one of my favourite Christmas dramedies about a dysfunctional family, starring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jnr. And Claire Danes, yet it's severely underrated. The Family Stone is also worth a watch.

[@kamsismith]

You meant to say also.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Yep home for the holidays is underrated

[@PokhrajRoy.]

In India, we can have chaos on more than one occasion. So many opportunities, no one wants to feel left out. P.S. Loved the focus on ‘Heartstopper’ Season 3.

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

Family gatherings are mostly okay we all do our best to be civil and politics is not really brought up although if one of us got a bad grade or when a job ends badly it was the favorite time of my mom to bring it up so I had to tip toe around it to not let it explode and usually it works but for the most part I still love the Holidays. My favorite Christmas Movie is a Christmas Carol most versions and my favorite one with a crazy family is National Lampoons so funny and heartwarming

Thanksgiving went from being my favorite holiday 15 years ago to being my LEAST favorite holiday in 2024. MAGA relatives are just not worth spending time with anymore, I'd honestly rather be alone on Thanksgiving than break bread with these people.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Totally understand you

[@cethomas324]

@@angelaholmes8888Particularly this year. I’m on my own this Thanksgiving and my family is MAGA free! Just not feeling festive.

[@margaretm8640]

… narrator called Jake Peralta “Jack” at 10:00-10:05

[@Anavaeebaee]

On Thanksgiving 2 years ago, my own sister and I got into a brawl at the table while everyone was eating!! Haven’t seen or heard from her since but yeah, holidays don’t mean shit when someone in the family has a severe mental illness

[@angelaholmes8888]

I'm sorry that happened to you I hope this year will be better

[@mayaalieva938]

I just get drunk on holidays that's my solution to survive my family 😂 and tune them out~ (not literally because they would notice the ear buds 😅)

[@lynnevetter]

As a kid I never wanted family to leave me alone so I could play with presents. I loved seeing family. 🎉

[@scifigrl92]

Kevin had to prevent his house from being burglarized

[@AP-o2]

Christmas will never be the same since I watched that episode in the 2nd season of The Bear where a family gathering got completely out of hand. Luckily my family isn’t that dysfunctional

[@lizanna6390]

I would like to say, in defense of keven maccallister, they WERE picking on him.

[@Missmagazinebura]

I’m rewatching the thanksgiving episode of gossip girl where Serena overdosed

[@ponderingsfromthemothercit8347]

You forgot to mention Festivus 1:11

[@Victrola66]

Any family reunion is chaotic in my family😢

[@jesuschild07able]

I love watching it on screen but going to see homophobic family members, yeah I just skip the holidays. I would love to see a holiday special where the adult child picks up and leaves and goes to another house and never comes back.

[@thetake]

Thanks for watching!❔What's your favorite chaotic family holiday episode of a tv of all time? ➡Next up, check out our most recent installment of our video analyzing sibling struggles, this time we're unpacking Middle Child Syndrome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX-xYZKdhpuGe6s (& links to the other ones we've done so far are in the comments there if you want to watch those, too!)

[@vishaladitya9222]

IMHO, It's distasteful of The Take to promote Marijuana related products. Just my opinion here🤷
