Grandma is baking Christmas cookies, so she asks Lincoln and Georgia to decorate the tree.They put on the lights, and the garlands, and the balls, and the candy canes. Then Olivia runs upstairs and brings back a toy bird. She puts it on a branch, turns it on and it goes TWEET TWEET TWEET. "HA!" says Lincoln "I can beat that." He runs to his room and gets his sound effects key chain, hangs it on the tree, and makes it go ZAP ZAP ZAP. In no time the competition creates a cacophony, with the neighbour's dog and eventually both Grandma and Grandpa yelling on top of the tree. Eventually Grandpa points out that no parents means no Christmas presents -- but the kids point out that Santa is sure to come through for them, and they head off to go to finish off the Christmas cookies and to to bed to wait for Christmas morning."--

Book excerpt: A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller! Learn how to fight better and end your arguments with your partner feeling closer, more loved, and better understood. We take our cars in for oil changes. We mow our lawns and pull weeds. Why don't we do maintenance on our marriages? This relationship is the most important one we will ever have, so why not get better at it? For the last several years, Penn and Kim Holderness of The Holderness Family have done the hard maintenance and the research to learn how to fight better. With the help of their marriage coach Dr. Christopher Edmonston, they break down their biggest (and in some cases, funniest) fights. How did a question about chicken wings turn into a bra fight (no, not a bar fight or a bra fight)? How did a roll of toilet paper lead to tears, resentment, and a stint in the guest bedroom? With their trademark sense of humor and complete vulnerability, Penn and Kim share their 10 most common Fight Fails and how to combat them. Throughout the book, they offer scripts for how to start, continue, and successfully close hard conversations. Couples will emerge equipped to engage and understand, not do battle—and maybe laugh a little more along the way. In Everybody Fights, couples will learn how to: Use "magic words" for healthy conflict resolution Address unspoken and unrealistic expectations Banish the three Ds of unhealthy communication—distraction, denial, and delay Carry individual baggage while helping your partner deal with theirs Penn and Kim want you to know you're not alone. Everybody fights. Marriage is messy. Marriage is work. But marriage is worth it. Fight for it!
