ABOUT THE BOOK:

Nearly everyone thinks their own family is “nutty” or has at least one or two nuts. With 101 stories of wacky yet lovable relatives, funny foibles, and holiday meltdowns, this book is usually hilarious and occasionally poignant. This book shows readers that we all have the same family matters and what really matters is families. It is a quirky and fun holiday book, and a great bridal shower or wedding gift!

MY THOUGHTS:

Everyone has that crazy aunt, uncle, brother or at least an experience with an odd family member.  I have many memories from Christmas parties, so many that we don’t even have parties anymore due to the craziness!  This Chicken Soup book “Family Matters” is all about the craziness in our families!  I can relate to many of the stories, others made me laugh so hard I almost peed, others made me feel like maybe my family isn’t that crazy!  It is full of 101 great stories that are sure to cheer you up, make you smile, and make you feel like you are not alone!  “Family Matters” is so far my favorite Chicken Soup for the Soul book.  I also think it would be a great gift for anyone anytime!  There is nothing religious or sad either, all the stories are funny and amusing!  The introduction is also written by Bruce Jenner of the Kardashian family!
