family.....

Do you get along with your family? I watched "Surviving Christmas" with Ben Affleck yesterday. He makes the point that most people, if they are going to survive being with family during the holidays, have to really "liquor up" in order to stand it.

What about those of us who don't drink?

Big, big hoopla happening in the family right now regarding Christmas. The majority of the family live in the same city. No big deal. They all got together and decided to change our huge party from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day.

Well.....this will exclude two entire families who already had things planned for Christmas Day. No, they were not consulted when the big "change" was made. I've been a part of this family for the past 14 1/2 years and our big party has ALWAYS been on Christmas Eve! So of course, we make plans with the other half of the family on Christmas Day.

It's always worked out so well.

Now feelings have been hurt and so on.

I guess I can drink eggnog and pretend it's spiked.

Warm Regards,
