Advantages: a dream of every ones childhood come true

Disadvantages: not a chance of coming true.

Why is it that the old fable of -you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family always comes true at Christmas??

Every ones dream of a perfect Christmas is a family one if possible but it is a far cry for some. Even those with a 'family' can dread the thoughts of yet another traumatic get-together.

My perfect Christmas would start off with a family that communicates instead of stabbing others in the back. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire and carols being sung by a choir - oh sorry getting carried away!
Snow falling all around us and children playing having fun - sorry there I go again!
Opening presents that we actually want!

A good hot traditional dinner, getting tipsy enough not to be drunk but have some fun. Snoring comfortably in the armchair, while watching some film that we have never seen before. Playing party games that everyone can make a fool of themselves. Then after a good day sending the family home and going to bed to sleep it off.

It would be ideal if there was no more war, starvation, nuclear weapons and peace at home(and in the world). But that may never happen. So I think this year will be the same as all others. I do all the work and cooking. My hubbie will moan, eat, drink and snore. My kids will rip open pressies, fight, eat and moan. The family visitors will eat and moan and the cat will sleep all day. Will yours be the same as every year?

Merry Christmas anyway!!
