These are the first holidays since dad brought his girlfriend home (he’s 47, she’s 24). My brother and I live with him. At this year’s Christmas meal besides the usual guests, mom and girlfriend’s parents were also present. Definitely an unusual situation but it was a nice event cause everybody was levelheaded.

My mother in law doesn’t believe in germs or illness so she came over when she had the flu and now the entire house is sick. My wife’s got a high fever and I can’t breathe out of my nose. I’m exhausted with all the back-to-back dinners.

We’ve had a big family dinner full of high cholesterol low fibre food since a Monday and this won’t end until Jan 3 so I’m running on fucking fumes.

Sounds awful mate. My body is still digesting that awful traditional food too.
