Trying to shift dynamics in your family is tricky, but leaving things unaddressed can be the path to growing further apart. On this episode of Now or Never, stories of families trying to make a change. Sisters Jennifer Eddu and Patricia Eddu are no longer teenagers, but the fight over borrowing clothes is as fierce as ever. Alvin Singer has a hard time letting go of stuff: he has more than 100, 000 novelty toys, vinyl records, magazines and sports memorabilia currently stuffed into boxes in the family basement. And it's starting to cause tension with his family. His daughter Jessica is determined to help Alvin let go of his past - starting with two ELO ticket stubs from Alvin's first concert in 1978. Mrey Chrechmes! That is not a typo but a new holiday Sam Rempel-Wry's family invented to bypass the commercial aspects of Christmas...as long as they can get their seven-year-old daughter Ana on board. For Levi Garber and his father Les Garber, the path to a better father-son relationship starts in the kitchen, and travels deep into their family past. Karim Gilliland wants things to change in her family and she's starting with herself. This year she's writing a holiday letter that is less family highlights, and more unvarnished truths about her year.
