'I hate Christmas, ' Bella says.

'No you don't, ' I say.

'I hate this one.'

'Everyone hates this one.'

This winter has been tough one for Bella, Ben and Alexander Meier. They are all trying to get through Christmas Day with minimum drama.

For Alexander that means Mario Kart with his father and Ben's twin sister, but for Bella and Ben it means putting the past few years behind them.

Will this Christmas drive the

Meier family apart or start to

put them back together?
