Not looking forward to Christmas Day [View all]

We're going over to my wife's brothers for Christmas Day. Going at 3, dinner probably around 5. That's the easy part. But my wife likes to be the last one to leave, much like her mother. And the whole family likes to drink, especially the nieces and nephews. That's what really tries my patience. I'd like to leave around 7ish. I may try to leave early with my one daughter who likes to get my grandson in bed by 7 or so. We'll see. Nothing more boring than being sober around a bunch of drunks.

In general, I really don't like the holidays. My mom passed away in early December many years ago, and it just hasn't been the same since.
