my mom's family and my dad's family hate each other. my family and my cousin's wife's family hate each other. my family and my husband's family hate each other. one time (and let me stress that it only happened ONE TIME) we all got together a few days before Christmas for a nice extended family Christmas dinner. It ended with screaming, food throwing, shoe throwing, name calling, and us all being forbidden from ever eating at that restuarant again....that's why i don't take people to meet my family any more lol

I don't have any for Christmas. The family as a tradition used to send the "thing" to someone every year. It was an old beaded dress from the 1920's that someone had gotten by mistake through a catalog order. I went around for probably 50 years. I guess it finally got lost. But whomever got had to hold it up to themselves and get their picture taken with it. No one was exempt, from grandparents to children. It went by mail coast to coast, and even ended up inside an empty can of corn for disguise. It was fun.

Well, this wasn't a feud but was very embarrassing.
Before my husband and I got married we went to his mothers house to open gifts from the family. I opened this gift without a sender name on it to me. It was a Bright red cheap satin outfit. It was an all in one thing that looked like the I dream of Jeannie outfit. It had cheap gold stitching on it. AND it was like a size 16 and I was a 6 at the time. There also were not any tags on it. So I knew it wasn't just bought at the store. I thought it was a joke from my not then husband. So laughed and said, "what the heck is this?" My not yet mother-in-law then said, "well if you don't like it you don't have to wear it!"

My maternal grandparents were characters - they were both wonderful people and I miss them alot. They used to get in some pretty long verbal fights - the kind that an old married couple can have. However, there was never any physical violence from either of them. My grandfather was a rolling stone entrepreneur in his day, but in his retirement was often henpecked by my grandmother. One time my grandmother declined another slice of pie claiming she was "watching it". My grandfather snickered and said "she's been watching it for the past 20 years!". I didn't even dare laugh! I knew that my grandfather was going to pay for that comment through the nose several times over.

i'm going thru one now...not really a "feud", but more of a "wierdness"...
my sister recently moved back in with my parents....she is bipolar and an alcoholic/drug addict...we were both molested by a parent as children (i choose to forgive and move on)....my sister in a manic phase (or drunken-drugged stupor...not sure which) confronted our parents about being molested about a week and a half ago....there is so much drama, it's totally out of control....i've had to remove myself from the situation (by not speaking to anyone in my family), because if my fragile mental health.....it's a huge mess and i am literally having nightmares.....
merry christmas!

Not a feud, but one year we left the stuffing in the oven at Thanksgiving and didn't discover it until Christmas. We did notice a smell, however. lol.

christmas eve we went out to a chinese resturaunt for dinner as a gift from my uncle blane. everyone went except my cousins and my aunt mary and uncle blair. they had to go see the other half of their family; so we didnt even mention that we were going to have a christmas eve dinner...until christmas day. they were so pissed that they werent invited that she yelled at my grandmother, and my uncle barry was never to come to their house or even speak to my cousins again, and that my father was a saint for putting up with my mothers family. and that all of my mothers family was insane (funny considering my aunt mary married one of them) so all in all i havent seen them in 5 years. no one has. and just last christmas my sister called them up and asked them if they wanted to come to her wedding, and they basically told her to go to hell and they would never show up in the same room with my mothers family ever.
the stubborness in my family you wont believe! but thats the way its been. and yes i have alot of uncles with "B" names. its all on one side of the family too. so how is that for embarrassing feuds?

Half my family is Pagan, and the other half, including my mother, is Southern Baptist. So when you get everyone, my Aunt's, Uncles, Grandparents, Cousins, etc. ect. in one room together to celebrate two very different holdiays.
We kill each other.
