The article discusses the challenge of family gatherings among siblings as they navigate different family commitments and obligations. Although they have tried to maintain holiday traditions by celebrating on various days, one sibling remains staunch in his decision to only participate on the exact date. This insistence has led to years of absence from family celebrations. Advice is given to try and include this sibling through video calls during gatherings but realistically, changes in his pattern after many years are unlikely. Additionally, a relationship issue involving texting and flirting with another woman is briefly mentioned as the author seeks guidance on moving forward amidst their partner's behavior.
When gathering as a family, connect with the sibling through calls or Facetime to showcase the joy he's missing, yet don't expect any changes after decades.
The challenge of unifying family traditions has to be met with compromise due to everyone's differing schedules, obligations, and expanded family units.
