You know my favorite thing about the holidays? The carols. Who doesn't have memories of gathering around the tree with family and loved ones and singing this chestnut?
God, I fucking love Christmas! What's your family's twisted tradition (aside from your uncle getting drunk and ruining the holiday)?

I get to go to the in-laws and have my every word and action scrutinized for evidence that I am a bad person and their daughter clearly could have done better.
yeah, i'm with you on the in-law hell. i'm on day three (of five. dear god, FIVE!!!) with the MIL and i am literally hiding in my room. i have elevated the "if you can't say something nice..." to a whole new level.
help!
ash,
i have not spoken unless spoken to for about seven years. it's awkward, but i swear in the very few times i have volunteered info, I have gotten trouble.
fortunately, weather preventsus from heading up this year.
A festivus miracle for dave!
My Norwegian-American family insists on making the traditional "rice mush", which I believe was one of many dishes that very poor Norwegians made back in the day before oil was discovered in Norway. The one who finds the hidden nut gets a surprise (usually a Christmas tree ornament). Woo hoo!
I do not have in-laws, but going back to a conservative small town as a 30-something single woman is no picnic. Uffda.
