Sounds like a colorful family get together.

I remember when my siblings and I were little kids, my mother always said, never discuss politics or religion at a holiday table. It will always lead to heated debates -- and ruin the meal, after I worked so hard, all day to prepare it.

I do not know what causes these particular parents to argue on all holidays, thus leading to the dreaded "Steele family, tradition", but I suppose insulting an in-law is always a good start to a rough ending of the holiday at hand.


Observations:

"It’s like we’re trying to go out of our way [to] get angry at each other, then they look at me to smooth everything over"

“Then maybe you should explain to Dad that Bill wasn’t insulted,” Sam stated."

You could eliminate the repeat of "then" in the two consecutive sentences, here. Just starting with "Maybe" would work.

Spunky family, I could picture them in my mind.
