But, hey, starting the year and ending the year with Christmas? It doesn't get any better than that! Do you at least double the gifts?

I currently spend Christmas with my family which means both my mothers side of the family and my fathers side of the family. So we are talking Lunch up at my parents place for Lunch with my mothers side then a 90 minute drive to my cousins place for dinner with my fathers side of the family. Added to this comes my Girlfriend who also has family commitments. Luckily for us (or not so luckily depending on when you ask me), her faith (Russian orthodox) celebrates Christmas in January. So we don't have to see her family in december, but it means we have to do the whole thing again in january so the whole ordeal lasts for weeks. I swear if i didn't love the smell of freshly cut pine tree in the living room or the look on my young cousins faces as they attempt to play Guitar hero for hours on end, I would give up on the whole season and spend the day somewhere air-conditioned with a beer in my hand and some form of Aussie sport on the TV, but family is family and if you can't choose them then I guess you have to be the bigger person and deal with them for 1 day out of the year (or 2 or three as the case may be) :) I agree that Family is the best way to ruin a family get together and to agree futher with your statement i’m going to talk about me, me me.
