it runs in the family

I don't really know. It could be inspired by real-life incidents or completely made up. Maybe check the author's notes or reviews to get a better idea.

Yes, it is. There are real - life cases where certain behaviors or events related to abduction seem to be more prevalent within a family. This could be due to various factors like a family's history of criminal behavior being passed down through generations, or a dysfunctional family environment that leads to such extreme actions being more likely to occur within the family unit.

Since I don't know the exact story, I can't say for sure. But it might have family members like parents, children, and grandparents as main characters.

Another theme could be unity. Christmas is often a time for family to come together, and if something runs in the family in the context of a Christmas story, it could show how the family unites around that shared element, whether it's a story, a custom or a value.

Perhaps it's a story of a family where abduction has become a sort of 'tradition' in a very dark sense. It might start with one family member committing an abduction and then others being influenced or having some sort of family - bound reason to follow suit. It could explore the psychological and social factors within the family that lead to such a disturbing pattern.

Another theme could be shared family characteristics. For instance, if all family members are really into nature exploration during summer, it shows a common trait that 'runs in the family' in the context of the summer story. This could also be about a shared sense of adventure or love for a certain summer pastime. It could also be related to family values that are especially highlighted during the summer months, like spending time together and making memories.

One such novel could be 'The Boarding House Legacy'. It tells the story of a family running a boarding house in a small town before 2007, dealing with various challenges and heartwarming moments.

I haven't heard of a particular 'it runs in the family christmas story' before. It might be a very specific or local story. Maybe it's about certain family traditions during Christmas that are passed down through generations, like a special recipe or a unique way of decorating the Christmas tree.

One possible plot could be that Naruto feels constantly overshadowed by his family's expectations. Maybe his family is full of powerful shinobi and they expect him to be just as great immediately. He runs away to find his own path and prove himself on his own terms. Along the way, he meets new friends who are also outcasts and together they form a sort of 'family' that accepts him for who he is.

I'm not sure as I don't know the details of this story. It might be about family heritage.
