Well, tonight was part 1 of 3 Christmas family gatherings, this time with the dysfunctional side of my family. 3 long hours of people who mostly don't like to be together. Well, everyone has at least 2 people from the group they don't want to spend Christmas with, so we dance around playing nice or avoiding each other. Gramma and step Gramma always create the most drama, and there are weeks of detoxing and bitter comments to wade thru afterwards. I try to avoid it as much as possible, not laughing at the mean jokes or things said under the breath.
But the worst is over, and tomorrow we are going to my great grandma's, for the best chili ever, then to my husbands parents for a big Christmas dinner. With good, normal, no drama people.
much love and happy christmas, and pictures tomorrow

Whew! So glad that's over with for you! Isn't it funny how much d-r-a-m-a some people can be? family or not, it's insane!
I hope that the rest of your holiday is blessed and full of peace and joy!
xoxo
I hope you survived your holiday drama unscathed. ;-)
