Honest Christmas Discussion

And make sure to empty your shitters!

Instead of Christmas Day. Amazingly, they managed to keep quiet about politics for once so it wasn't all that bad.

To hide from him, I drink. Merry f#$/ing Christmas.

My wife and I are in NYC. Just us two. We brought lights for our room, a small tree, and our presents. I may want to do this every year. Merry Christmas everyone!

We do the wife’s family every Christmas Eve. It’s actually pretty nice. Brother in law built a big heated pole barn a few years ago so it’s comfy and there’s enough room to stay away from the few idiots. Today is immediate family. Merry Christmas and Go Blue!

the most difficult person I have to deal with today is my wife. I'll just sit on the sidelines while she spends time with her family and hope she doesn't get all stressed out on me. holidays can really be annoying.

Too busy making money today to care about visiting family and getting involved with the drama.  They sure do change their tune about capitalism when they need some $$$$$$$ from me.

I find that exposing my genitals puts all the other bickering on the back burner.

I just drank a kale and fruit smoothie. That alone made my wife's day. Now to hide in the corner and read a John U Bacon book. Christmas will soon be over.

Im thankful today I don’t have to be around my mother in law.

Wife's gift was a dud. Already plans to return it. Time to strap on the iron jock and focus on how pleased every one else is.

...is Media Director For Sparty Football. Nice enough guy but his dad is a real troll.

I started bringing a picture of the Sparty Staff member as a kid in Michigan gear head to toe and threaten to tweet at Dantino if he acts up. Works every time.

First Xmas without my kids since the cunt ex-wife decided that she’d rather be with a lying, conniving ex boyfriend from high school that lives his life in a wheelchair (shot at a drunken house party years ago). Did I mention he’s jobless and plays xbox all day, according to my kids.

This time last year my dad was in ICU and nobody thought he'd make it out. A year later and I have another Christmas with him. He's not doing great by any means but he's here. Most of the relatives on his side of the family are impossible to deal with but I'd gladly deal with them to have one more Christmas with him. So, my advice would be to gravitate toward those relatives you look forward to seeing while treating the others with a mild neglect.

Take the high road as best you can. Especially today if at all possible. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Go Blue.

I have spent most Christmases of my adult life alone.  I had a tough life growing up, where I was beaten almost daily and had a horrible family.  I had some girlfriends after college where we spent Christmas together, but eventually I went my own way and stayed single for a long time.  This year however, I met a wonderful girl and we have been together for almost 1 year.  She went out of town to visit family but I am picking her up from the airport later tonight.  Life is truly better when you have a wonderful significant other....it can be very challenging a times to work out any relationship...but things are better with the ones that you love around. 

all who have difficult situations to deal with today. Such a tragedy that today, of all days, is so difficult for so many. My wife and I will be alone. We will prepare a feast to enjoy with a glass of wine, watch A Christmas Story later (watched It’s a Wonderful Life last night) and have pumpkin pie. Merry Christmas everyone!

My family gets along great. We are part Irish, a little arguing is normal. My wife has the nervous energy of 1000 cats, she vibrates when standing still. I have to keep her contained and then Xmas Day is wonderful.

Christmas, fortunately enough, has never been a struggle for me. My family gets along great and we don’t have any family members who we dread having come over.

Guess I’m one of the lucky ones. All I’d say is that if you do have asshole family members, try taking the high road for just one day and then go back to hating their guts on the 26th. You might have good reasons for hating them, but don’t ruin the holiday for everyone else by getting into fights. And if everyone hates this family member, then maybe you should be thinking twice about whether or not they should be invited at all.

A Christmas Story is overrated.

father-in-law & brother-inlaw over who insist on spewing politics every 15 min.

The people who irritate you on Christmas think you’re irritating.

though, to be more precise, once I had my own kids, my family slowly receded into the background. Parents divorced when I was 8, so the holidays always seemed contrived anyways. I'm not all that close to my siblings (emotionally or geographically). My mom will be lucky to get a Christmas text. My youngest still believes in Santa and Elf on the shelf, and that's good enough for me. And with all the fresh snow, the dog is thoroughly enjoying himself outside. My wife is napping (again), the in laws are on their devices, and I'm nursing a beer watching Sixers-Knicks.
