So anything exciting happen while you and your kin got together? Seems at most households some sort of drama of one kind of another occurs.

At my house my aunt nearly set our house on fire causing the children be scared out of their wits and crying - besides that nothing else interesting.

Pretty uneventful this year as far as family drama.

But I'd love to hear other stories . . . Smile

At my sister's home, she started christmas day by suffering the full effect of a stomach virus. This continued until bedtime, but sometime around dinner, her husband cut off the end of his thumb. He finished cooking dinner and then drove himself to the hospital.

"Dude, nobody wants to eat a dinner made by the guy with a bleeding stub!"

Men! Well, at least he cooks eh. Smile Dedication!

Nothing hugely eventful this year. Thank Satan. Only one reliable even got drunk! Usually there are at least one drunken fight or altercation. It was shocking and lovely.

I just got home from four days with the inlaws. It was not as "un-lovely" as I'd dreaded. Actually, it wasn't too bad. The crazy SIL who usually screws things up for everyone was drugged half out of her mind this year, thanks to her new shrink. BIL says he'll talk to her doctors about the overmedication after the first of the year. It was pretty pitiful, but at least she was harmless this Christmas.

HOME. What a beautiful word. I am gonna sleep great tonight.

This was before the whole-family xmas (which didn't happen until the 26th, given the circumstances). The only people around were my sister who threw up every time she moved and their kids who are too young to drive.

Well that explains it - I envisioned aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, nieces, nephews, etc. all sitting around having a good time. Poor guy is doing all the cooking in the kitchen - finishes, invites the crowd to eat - you all dig in enjoying yourself, while he leaves and drives himself to the hospital.
