- My mother-in-law ran away from home on four days before Xmas. My
- grandmother-in-law "canceled" Xmas. My wife blew off wrapping the
- presents until Xmas Eve eve, and then said she didn't "feel good"
- and could I do it -- I finished up at about 5:00 am. We all showed
- up at her grandmother's house anyway on Xmas Eve, as tradition dictates,
- but she would not allow us to bring alcohol into the house. An uncle
- and I spent Xmas Eve "checking the cars for vandals" so we could go out
- a slam a beer or a couple shots. This didn't even begin cut the tension
- in the air for me.
-
- The turkey on my plate absorbed two ladles of gravy and was still dry as
- a bone but at least there was no food poisoning this year.
