Pretty much the same for me. My family came over for lunch today. They stayed for 4 hours and I socalized the entire time. Now my family is heading over to my aunts house for dinner. I have decided not to go.
I love my family but I am drained from socalizing so much. I want some alone time now.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas back at you. ![]()

Yeah, don’t feel bad. 2.5 hours is a long enough time. You did good.
I have a family party on the 28th that I’m nervous about. It’s with certain family members who are really mean to me.
My husband is coming and he said from now on if anyone is mean he’s going to tell them off. I really really don’t want that to happen. I just want to get through it and go home. No fights. I want peace, even with the mean ones.
I’m sorry to hear that. You deserve to be treated with respect!
Im sorry they are so mean I hope you have a peaceful get together Merry Christmas @LilyoftheValley
Thanks @TheCanuk . It’s been that way since I was a baby. I don’t know why but I’m the target in the family. Always have been
Thanks @Rainstorm
I got through another Christmas without incident although our provider’s husband got sick. We’re done. We’ve had the presents and the Christmas dinner. We’re into it being more of a pagan holiday, here.
Merry Christmas @PinCushion
just got back from family…went well…glad it only comes once a year though.
Merry Christmas @jukebox
I’m done with the holiday for the rest of my life.
Same time next year then?
I’m hoping my crap heart takes me out first.
You’ll have to suffer through many more christmases before that happens
I’m surprised I made it to this one.
You’d be surprised how surprising some surprising things can surprise you.
