Practice small steps of open communication.
Pick up the phone and make a quick call.  Suggest a time when most of the family can get together during the next six months.  A graduation, wedding, birth of a baby or holidays are all natural reasons to reunite for a shared cause.
Forgive and move on from the past.
Some family members harbor resentment over things from years ago.  Own up to your own faults and ask for forgiveness if necessary.  Seek counseling to resolve destructive feelings and find balance in your own life.  Otherwise, live in the present and give discontented family members space.  Refuse to let another person’s unhealthy behavior ruin enjoyment for the rest of you.
 Maybe your family traditions are as simple as baking holiday cookies, grilling in the backyard or attending a sporting event for the kids.  Together with your siblings and broader family circle, make a list of the traditions you still want to celebrate and pass on to future generations.
