Considering the eventful year we just witnessed, some political junkies might see this as the perfect opportunity to break down reactions to the presidential election,

Our parents' generation is typically more conservative when it comes to sex and cohabitation before marriage, so when visiting them with your significant other, discussing the sleeping arrangements can be a bit awkward for all involved. I know many parents who believe that under their roof, their rules apply regardless of the situation back home; but others simply choose to turn a blind eye.
Since many of you will be traveling to visit family in these next few days, tell me, will you be allowed to sleep in the same room as your significant other?

Dear Sugar,
My husband and I are hosting Christmas dinner this year, but I'm feeling very uncomfortable for the following reason. This past year, the relationship between my six siblings and mother has become very fractured for a number of reasons, but mostly because my mom and eldest sister create too much toxic drama. Some of the siblings are fed up, and don't want to come to Christmas unless I can 100 percent guarantee that my mom and sister won't be there.

It's no secret that Heidi and Spencer eloped in Mexico, but after watching how it all came to fruition last night on The Hills, I couldn't help but feel badly for Heidi — was it just me or did she look incredibly sad the morning after her big day? Her family was clearly part of the reason why Spencer whisked her away, but it seemed as though she was disappointed that her family wasn't there to support her, let alone offer their blessing. While marriage is a personal commitment between husband and wife, do tell, would you ever elope on a whim like Heidi and Spencer did?

Dear Sugar,
I'm the oldest of four children and am currently living at home with my parents to save money, get out of debt and get back on my feet. I'm on a budget and suggested a spending limit on sibling gifts this year. It's not that I'm trying to be a Scrooge, but there is only so much I can realistically spend on each person on my list without going into more debt.

In the midst of all the scandal and rumors surrounding the Madonna and Guy Ritchie split, new reports say that they will be spending Christmas together, for the sake of their kids that is. While I think the idea is nice, I'm not sure faking it, if you will, is necessarily a good idea. Obviously different things work for different families, but ladies, where do you stand on the notion of spending the holidays together for the sake of the kids when the parents are clearly in an unhappy, volatile relationship?
