Right on. Don't stress yourself out over that stuff. I used to allow that to happen and it made the holidays more drudgery than enjoyment.
Any opinions on the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix? My wife says we made them once and really liked them. But I don't remember it. She bought a box and I thought I might try them for turkey day if none of you warm me off.
Ohman… my wife and her sister have started feuding over the holidays! Specifically, who is hosting and who is attending.Gone are the days of trying to satisfy both sides of the family. Especially with the in-laws really showing their ass these last few months.
My wife and her sister came to an agreement that we do Thanksgiving and her sister does Christmas (which they do on Christmas Eve). Even when her sister lived in an apartment with room for 12 people and 14 people would be there. Finally they got a house and it is better now. Then there was Christmas two years ago when the dog died and we all pretended there was not a dead dog in the other room.Ohman… my wife and her sister have started feuding over the holidays!

Her sister's son and his wife had their first child two years ago. Now it's a Facebook fight as to who sends out their invites for holiday, birthday, anniversary get togethers first.
So fucking stoopit! I don’t say shit out loud about it though. lmfao
Mrs says we liked them, and as you guys also say they are okay, I'll give them a go.I mean they're pretty universally loved even by people who hate the restaurant.
Personally I find the boxed baking mixes too salty in general. If you don't, they're great. If you're me, then making biscuits from scratch is pretty easy and you can mix extra butter/garlic/seasoning/cheese to the batter to get a reasonable facsimile of the Red Lobster biscuit without all the salt.
There have been holidays where I wanted to be that dog.Then there was Christmas two years ago when the dog died and we all pretended there was not a dead dog in the other room.
Hands up, chin down, protect yourself at all times.Big clown show at the inlaws. Going to be the works, my parents driving in, sister flying in, wife's brother and gf driving in, aunts, uncles, grandmas. Full house.
Going to be a fun one too cause we got a pretty good mix of Trumpers and Normies.

Don't do it. And keep that political talk out of ATOT you degenerates.- I don't see how politics isn't going to come up, so I might as well force the issue.
Figure my angle will be less hostile and more "make your predictions for the next 4 years on things like Ukraine/Israel/inflation/unemployment/Social Security/generalized government dysfunction/etc etc etc" and see if I can get some commits from the true believers.
Would make for a more productive Thanksgiving politics discussion than everyone trying to change everyone else's minds. Can revisit on the yearly to see where the predictions are at as well.
I hear you, remember when I said we were in an apartment with space for 12 but had 14 people. Add in I am an introvert and do not like half the people in that room.There have been holidays where I wanted to be that dog.
We do the Xmas Story trope, and have Chinese food every Xmas Eve.
