Christmas eve rundown


Went over to my inlaws this evening. I had let my daughters spend the night before. My mother in law made them fancy christmas dresses from the parts of old bridesmaid dresses that her mother had made.

I was dreading going over because my sister in law, her live in boyfriend and son who haven't spoken to me in three years were supposed to be there. There wasn't any reason for them to be mad at us except for the fact that we are still on good terms with her older son that she is feuding with and she thinks my wife took her place as a surrogate mother.

Whatever..

I had the car bar™ ready (mother in law is weird about alcohol) and I braced myself with a big glass of gin and cranberry. They came in the door and started acting normal. They didn't speak to me at first but I walked up and shook their hands and said "Merry Christmas" the night was fine after that. It was anti-climactic but what a relief. I didn't feel like drinking after that. except some pinapple wine...weird shit (not sweet at all)

I had brought extra presents without any names on them just in case, and I'm glad I did. I gave all those bastards presents...Hahahaha! Fuckers.

Soon, everyone opened their gifts, Since my inlaws just got back from Hawaii I got a wooden sushi tray. I also got some guinness pint glasses and a cheese board. I also got a keychain engraved with my name translated into hawaiian "iekie" hmm it's probably a tourist scam...

The kids got tons of shit. I had to make 6 trips to the truck. It was nice of them but I'm wondering where in the fuck all these piles of toys are going to go...

We got home around nine and let the kids open more presents that my mother had mailed, and then sent them off to bed.

Santa showed up a short time later, delivered presents, ate milk and cookies and that bastard got fireplace soot all over the living room carpet.

Oh well.

Hope everyone's Christmas went as well.

Yours sounds as demented as mine. Now for the grand finale of Christmas Day. Then on with our normal fun lives.

It's a christmas miracle.

I doubt a trip to my inlaws would go as well. They resent us because we're independent and financially secure....unlike the rest of the kids who are moochers.

My hubby's bro was his old normal self today, came in, no greeting, wouldn't eat or drink anything and then left without a goodbye. Atleast he was warm and fuzzy with my grandson. But that's just because he's got infantile down pretty well.

Glad your kids got lots of nice gifts. Hope you and your family have peace and joy in the new year!

Loce that you brought them all gifts. Just kill them w/ kindness. I did the same thing to my evil SIL this weekend and that little "naughty" side of me felt great. Rock on Hammer!

I look forward to Christmas and I dread it at the same time. Your post is a good synopsis of why that's so. I understand what you're saying completely.

Glad to hear it didn't turn into The Spanish Inquisition.

Sweetie, I'm sorry they're such weirdos and very glad it turned out well.

I'm getting out of town next Christmas!!!

Seriously.

To avoid similar stupidity....

So glad for you that it was anti-climactic. Hopefully, half the toys will break before garbage day and you won't have to put them anywhere.

In this case, Hammer, I'd say a big SUV definitely comes in handy.

I love the part about giving them all gifts....laughing. Glad your kids got such a great haul.

We're more a Hickory Farms type of family...beef log and turkey log...spicy mustard and cranberry mustard....yum!
