Simple really
We all sit around pretending we don't hate each other.

Maybe hate is a bit too strong a word, but you get the picture.

For example this Christmas, I shall probably (barring a massive family argument, which given that as I mentioned previously we don't like each other, isn't all that unlikely) refrain from shouting at my dear old mum...

"You fucking mental bitch, you are a terrible mother. You tried to dominate my life because you had no control over your own shitty existence. You fucked my brother-up completely by barely acknowledging him through his infancy because he reminded you of your ex-husband. You mollycoddle the youngest brother to the point where he is a gibbering wreck and my other brother is only not fucked up because you actually held down job for a few years while he was young, meaning my step-dad who you seem intent on breaking mentally looked after him in his formative years!"

And in return, she wont shout at me, while throwing household objects.

"You are useless failure, you spoilt little shit. I gave up my career to have you, you ruined my life and made fat. I could have had the world on a platter if I had just done what my friends said and got an abortion. You are a useless slimy weasel of a man just like your father! You will never amount to anything because you are a lazy pathetic wank stain!"

Nope, we shall not say these things. We shall watch various Xmas specials on TV, eat like the fat wasteful gluttons we are and quietly seethe with resentment probably giving us all brain tumors and piles.

Ho ho fucking ho, Merry fucking Christmas!

I was almost entirely sure you are
but I had a last minute crippling doubt and thought I might be about to make a terrible faux pas...

Oh dear sweet fuckpig
The story is exaggerated and embelished a wee bit, its not as bad as it seems. Also I dont live there anymore and you would be amazed at how not living with people allows you to get on better.
