Thanks Jim. :tup:

So Sean!....

My inlaws completely hate me. My mother in law and I were good. She and I got along great. She passed away about 4 years ago. After that my father in law went bat sh*t crazy. Within a few weeks he found someone new to share in this crazy on a "Christian" dating site. She was raised a lot of red flags with us. Then they decided they were going to get married. So I hired a PI and shown him that she was going guy to guy to guy stealing businesses overlapping addresses, opening credit cards etc. She denied all of this, of course, but it was all in police databases. Even so dad decided to believe her and made me the bast@rd of the family for hiring a PI. A year later he discovered she was still living with another guy and had an apartment with him. He swept that under the rug and is still with her. Besides that my wife was the red-headed step child of her family. I hated going to family events because she would always leave in tears. I was almost glad to be done with it when her father disowned us for the whole PI thing. He keeps reaching out now, but we won't have anything to do with it. The new wife has made threats to sue me and I just don't want to take any chances because I know she's capable of following through with that even if she won't win and could cost me a whole lot of cash even if I didn't do anything. What I'm saying is......

everyone has problems bro! Man up and have a stiff drink!!!! :tup:

Lol Jim good thing our ladies don't read this lol I don't actually hate x mas but I do dislike here in the us everyone gets drunk and most of my family and friends are mostly broke around that time for some reason.

Damn, I guess I'm lucky then. We get along great with both sides, and holidays are always a blast. Days do get a little long since we visit both families, but other than that I love it!

funny! I consider myself lucky cuz I don't have to drive all over the place anymore. It's all in how you look at it. Life is happier in my house without all that drama. We see the people we like. To be honest we started our own tradition with family and friends that are in like situations. We all go to a casino on xmas eve. It's really the most fun part of the holiday, and we are usually the only people in the casino. We have a blast!! We call it "The Black Sheep Xmas" :icon17::icon17:

Casino sounds fun!

We both grew up in this area so our drives are very short. Her parents are 5mins away and mine are 15mins. Once we have kids, my wife wants to host at our house, so no more driving!

off topic but I was looking through the for sale threads.....man people must not want to sell their cars so many high prices wtf......






DAN

Yeah but thats how it goes with cars like this. Go look theough for sale threads on s2k or miata forums. Im not even going to mention supra prices :eek:

Try not to look at Christmas as a time of obligations and stressing over lots of things such as to do lists and gifts. See it as an opportunity to reconnect with family or friends you have not spoken to in a while. There is this social obligation to bring gifts for everybody and I definitely am guilty of getting sucked in to that. At the end of the day realize that those who only want to see others for the gift are not worth your time to think about. If you want Little symbolic gifts are much better. Leave larger more thought out gifts for the closest in your life. People sometimes forget that holidays are about being together, laughing, having a good time with your family and friends. Gift are a by product of holidays/ special occasions that have become part of our culture.

Bring a bottle of wine to dinner and enjoy the moment. :D

:iagree:

Thanks guys... does mean a lot :hello:


One common theme, everybody says drink to make it better... I can not.
(one sip of alcohol will give me a migraine) :shakes head:

you don't need to drink to have fun. It's all about your mindset!

Are you allergic to alcohol?

Technically no, but migraine every time.
