    My brother's always had shit friends. He got into an argument with some girl in his group so they broke into the basement and I think stole a computer monitor and some old computer parts. It's been an increasing fortress mindset ever since.

    You're talking about driving over Monteagle Mtn on I-24. It's funnier because you now reside in Colorado. Which makes Monteagle a baby hill.

    I've hit some of those curves way faster than I wanted to. I grew up 15-20mins from there.

    So after my wife 1) flew 8000 miles 2) wore a mask for 20 straight hours 3) did not leave a one-bedroom condo for 15 days to self isolate 4) paid for a two week stay in said one bedroom condo and 5) left her husband for four months, missing our first anniversary, thanksgiving, Christmas, her birthday, and my birthday, in order to make sure her mom is ok through this pandemic (because my sister in law is a POS) her mom basically spends her time visiting her friends (in theory distancing) and complaining about how she can’t go out and see her friends.

    my wife may murder her.

    One of my best friends mother in laws is the worst person alive, and previous gifts have included hamburger socks, light bulbs, and a New York giants oven mitt.

    They did Christmas last week with her and among the gifts was this:

    As a stocking stuffer or side gift, nothing. When they’re one of your 2-3 main gifts, probably a lot.

    Packed up for our annual holiday sleepover at the in laws. 7 kids (all 6 and under) and 8 adults all under 1 roof. The best part is everyone lives within 15 minutes of their house. They’re (in laws and their kids) convinced this will continue until the kids go to college. I see absolutely no point in doing this with the proximity, and I’ll purposely leave something behind to ensure I have to go back to our house and get out of there.

    It's tough but some posters here need to put their foot down. I did one holiday visit with my family where 10 of us were in one house and I'll never do that again until my kid is much older.

    He got another note on the same style paper with creepy santa that said, “ Remember we took the whole family on a fun beach vacation to St Augustine this summer.”

    St Augustine is an hour away, it was a time share condo.

    I’ve never had a problem except the last move where they wouldn’t pack open bottles. I was already gone and my mother was overseeing the pack out for me and didn’t know how to fight it.

    I should just pre-packed it and labeled it “personal documents”

    My in laws are currently in Aspen where they just purchased a million dollar condo and told my wife it was too expensive to fly to Dallas from there so the feelings are mutual.

    we aren’t at the in-laws this year because we’re quarantining. we got them an echo show, helped them get it set up over the phone, and scheduled a chat for latter. they expressed how excited they were we could still read the story of christmas together.

    I feel like I’m pretty lucky having the in-laws that I have but not only did my mother in law sign us up for in person Christmas Eve service because it’s “reservation only so it’ll be safe,” she volunteered us to light some candles as a family during the service. And now turns out there’s something we have to read out loud while we light said candles. But not even scripture or a short verse more like “the lighting of this candle represents...” My money says this was planned all along that she’s slowly revealed in stages since thanksgiving.

    Mom wanted us to spend Xmas with my aunt in Charleston. Quarantined for 2 weeks. Isolated for 4 days after my flight. Waited in line for 3 hours for rapid test.

    I get to my aunts house. Two days ago she had a get together in her garage (but the garage door was open!) for her friend bc her (the friend’s) sister just died....of Covid.

    Didn’t tell me or my mom (who drove from Virginia) until we’re sitting at a table eating dinner together.

    When Fauci said not to go see your family this Christmas he should have added *”because your boomer relatives are fucking stupid” For people who struggle with common sense like me.

    My stepdad’s name is Bucky. He brought some tequila called La Gritonia and it’s pretty good. My aunt (Who’s 67) and I are cross faded already.

    We’re sipping the tequila and my aunt looks at Bucky and she says “Bucky this tequila makes me want to fucky.”

    Bucky is a 70 year old republican Christian and he looks like someone shoved a stick up his ass.

    I’m in tears.
