Thank you sooooo much,...I could go on for days about these people,but I dont think this forum is big enough. I know for a fact next year for every holiday, the kids,DH, and myself are keeping to ourselves at home or we will go out of town. My kids do not need to see that kind of negativity. I am trying to raise them to be better than that.

Thanks guys, I actually feel better now, almost like having a family how everyone pulled together just now. I guess I have a online family and now I will put my magnifying glass up since I needed it to see the problem. {lol sorry I couldn't resist} not another word about it!!

Best thing about friends is that you choose them. You're STUCK with family!

I made dinner last night for my SO and my guest and my guest's stepmom. Stepmom brought her friend, without warning or asking.

I'm a vegetarian. Not by choice, and I still cook meat for the SO, but consensus this week was that we'd have a fake meat meal with lots of side dishes. So I made a Quorn Turk'y roast (which, if you're ever forced to eat fake meat? Go with Quorn for the bird bits. Trust me.)

Apparently, the uninvited guest wasn't informed because when she saw it, she asked what the he-double-toothpick it was, and when informed, she huffed up like an affronted hen and said, "What, no turkey! But it's Christmas!" as though it was a dealbreaker on the holiday.

SO to the rescue. He stared her down and calmly said, "Christmas - a time to be thankful for what you have, not to bemoan that which you have not." She shut up and ate.

I was mean and held off serving dessert until after she'd left.

As some of you may already know I have an eating disorder{anorexia} Last night Snakeman and I stayed up all night and cooked. I made a 14 and a half lbs turkey stuffed with dressing, yams, greenbean caserole, limas, homemade cake, macaroni salad, potato salad, deviled eggs, gravy, homemade biskits and good old cranberry sauce from a good old can. My fridge is packed. I haven't eaten anything today but I made a mental note to myself that I would eat before I go to bed. Snakeman is in hog heaven. He had to unbutton his pants. lol I was so hoping my sister would come over to eat but I do realize how severe her mental illness is. I wish I knew a way to help her.
