What's on everyone's Christmas  or holiday list?

I want good health and good will to my family and friends ( including everyone here)

 

Family fun without the family drama.

Holidays have been especially great since my "aunt"* moved to FL. She's a racist POS and nobody misses her other than my grandmother (unfortunately).

*Biological aunt. Not family to me.

Holidays can be especially emotionally draining. Having stress-free get-togethers is so important to me nowadays. As a kid, it was fun to b%^&* about, but it's annoying to just complain about a person for hours after they leave as a close-to-30's adult.

Absolutely.  nothing is worse than being stuck at someone's house and counting the hours you want to leave...

I won't go to my wife's aunt's home any more for holidays. It puts my wife in a tough position but no more. The last straw was the dog cleaning the plates and pushing a bowl of mashed potatoes around the room, leaving a trail of potato on the couches and chair bottoms. And the food was always poor but you have to deal with that when it is family. (I started bringing stuffing but can't exactly bring the gravy too...they baste with butter and the gravy is oil, butter, then gravy all sitting in levels in the cup. You get the top two layers and never the actual gravy.)

I'm tired of never getting Greggy and people thinking it's the thought that counts.  I'm out this year.

I brought an amazing stuffing to a relatives house on year. It had chestnuts, walnuts, raisins, apricot, sausage, mushrooms... The whole 9 yards. The tray of stuffing may have cost $50 to make. They didn't know what to make of it and were eating the stovetop stuffing made straight from the box with nothing extra. I took my stuffing home.
