LOL! This is so sad but true. My family does the same thing. I try and focus on the reason for the season and it seems to go over their heads. In the last couple of years I go to my in-laws now. I have no desire for viciousness on Christmas.IChristmas in my family is all about presents and family talking behind other family’s back at the big dinner. I’m glad I’m married and can start my own traditions!!!
Look on the bright side…your family at least gets together to talk smack. I have uncles who won’t even show up because one of their brother’s will be there!!! Sad huh? In fact, a few years ago my grandpa came out from MN to visit. It turned out to be his last Christmas on earth as he was diagnosed with severe cancer and all kinds of other stuff just a couple weeks after Christmas. Anyway, all the family was invited of course. One of my uncles asked if one of my other uncles was going to be there. When we said yes, he said forget it, he wouldn’t be there. Wouldn’t even curb his little “thing” with his brother to come see his father for the 1st time (turned out to be only time) in several years.I used to have a chocolate advent calendar as a kid…that’s it. Christmas in my family is all about presents and family talking behind other family’s back at the big dinner. I’m glad I’m married and can start my own traditions!!!
