Christmas Advent 2015 - Day 12 - Wonderfully Dysfunctional: It Must be Genetic by Buffi Neal

Wonderfully Dysfunctional: It Must be Genetic by Buffi Neal

The true story of... A gypsy mother who refused to wear a bra and a father who refused to leave his first wife. A brother who slept under the coffee table and a sister who was kidnapped. A cheating minister, a missing uncle and a feisty red-headed grandmother who was longing to leave it all. 

I always knew my family was unusual, but I was lucky enough to have escaped that gene. Or was I? In a nursing home, seated next to my dying grandmother, I looked around at my family and it occurred to me that I fit right in. No bra, dirty sneakers and two ex husbands. Maybe it really is genetic - maybe I never had a chance. With the help of my siblings, I began a journey of self discovery as we recalled stories of our youth including juicy family secrets, inappropriate practical jokes and betrayal. 

 On a journey to find normal, I found myself instead.

The first thing Buffi thinks of at the thought of Christmas is...

Tradition, family, smiles, hugs, laughter, ribbons and a little tear for my Christmas past.

What makes Christmas special for Buffi...

Wrapping presents. Each present is wrapped as if it would be opened by the pope himself: thick ribbons, trinkets and ornaments. Watching my teen daughter now wrapping along side of me is a feeling I can't describe.

Buffi's Christmas Wish for 2015…

World peace of course. AND... to win the coveted family Christmas-card contest. My brother has taken the prize for a few years with his Norman-Rockwell-family-beach photos. My kids and I have to come up with something unique, funny and heartwarming, which requires them to spend time with mom - win.
