I could be wrong, but I think I read this rule somewhere in the last 50 pages of the thread: if you have reason to anticipate a family confrontation and have at least five minutes’ warning, you are obligated to film the confrontation and post itt. I don’t make the rules.
Parents gifts wrapped on Xmas eve. Xmas morning, couch littered with unwrapped presents from a Santa. Go bonkers from all the excitement overload at once. It’s the way to go
My brother-in-law’s sister just showed up. She brought vegan pigs-in-a-blanket. We had a good laugh about it.
One of my nephews that's a freshman in college spent his entire Christmas Eve evening in his bedroom arguing with his girlfriend and sending out threats to the guy she slept with while they were broken up (who also happens to be roommates with his older brother) even though he slept with other people while they were single, which caused big brother to get involved and tell younger brother to stop sending threats to his roommate Oh to be young again
My father-in-law is recovering from a broken back and now he’s asking everyone else in the family to do things for him. Like, get off your ass, old man, and find the piece of paper that slipped underneath the couch yourself.
Ex wife is currently 50 minutes late, so she's still 10 minutes early for her. Aunt's boyfriend informed us this morning he'd double booked Christmas so he isn't coming so we now have 16 people worth of food with 12 people coming.
My mother-in-law asked that I make the bacon for brunch today and now she won’t stop thanking and complimenting me. Once was enough!
My parents had presents for us from them wrapped and under the tree and presents from “Santa” unwrapped sitting out in front of the tree. Best of both worlds, we loved it. That is what I do now for my son. He seems to like it, but he’s two so who really knows.
So far one of my wife’s cousins brought in her big gift. It’s a realistic looking Chewbacca doll. She’s like 30 Another cousin got an assault style 12 gauge Another cousin has already started drinking so I’m about to follow suit and they can talk about me later in their family member thread
I made the mistake of drinking away my misery last night so much that now I’m miserable and hungover. Guess the only thing to do now is start drinking again
Of course! And not just the insane quantities I make but also the quality. Here’s the trick: mortar and pestle!
Santa presents were always unwrapped, parent presents wrapped. I was one of three though so I can’t even imagine how much more time wrapping that stuff would have taken.
Uh, everyone knows that trick. Everyone but know nothing home cooks at least. But all real professionals know that.
Can't find the shitty gifts thread, but my friend was asking if it's possible to return something to Amazon you didn't actually purchase.
Have you ever made gallons of aioli with a mortar and pestle? I’ve been mistaken for Popeye several times in the past.
My FiL recently purchased a 75 inch Sony Bravia 4K TV and my two brother in laws and I have been playing Mario Kart 8 on it. So it could be going worse.
Likely just said my goodbye to my grandpa.... My last grandparent. Love hearing him talk clemson football. "Dem boys better get low this time vs bama." 86 years old. Started as a telephone salesmen. Moved the family from the projects to the house he had built...that we just left. Merry Christmas yall.
Yea,but he's in decent enough health . Which is good. Something like 40% heart function and same for lungs I think.
Update I’m probably the drunkest person here. Should probably slow my roll but yolo will have to leave for our flight before we see them again
Welp, my SiL’s younger sister proceeded to get hammered (while nobody else is indulging) and choke on prime rib 20 minutes ago. Had my phone in my hand to call 911 as her face turned blue and her dad performed the heimlich. As I hit call she coughed it up and pissed her pants at the same time. Merry Christmas.
I got drunk shit in my sister’s kitchen sink and she had the nerve to ask me to clean it. I mean like wtf is wrong with her.
That sounds horrible. I can't imagine how scary that was. To lose a good piece of prime rib is a real tragedy.
