FFFC: Due to H's work schedule on and around the holiday, we won't be getting together with his side for their Christmas party. I'm not even sad. There's so much unspoken tension...its just so exhausting.
On the other hand, because we aren't going there, my biological father is joining us for the day Saturday. I appreciate him making an effort after not for so many years, but he's just as emotionally exhausting as my ILs. And it's just him.
UO: I would not be opposed to a vacation over the holidays to avoid having to spend the obligatory time with family.

LT = comiseration, britta. My "real" dad is exhausting. My in laws have their own set of issues. I can't stand my BIL. I would be over the moon happy if I could go on vacation.
But I do love seeing my sisters, mom and step dad tonight. I would miss that.

Haha. That's my exact situation. I would miss my side of the family. I really think I'd give it up for a year though.
requiressnacks - I don't even know the last time I talked to my dad and can't stand my BIL. My sister is coming in town Sunday and I won't even get to see her until next Wednesday because she's spending the first half of the week with my dad. They won't think to even invite me to dinner.
UO - if you're sending a religious Christmad card (bible verses, manger scene), take the time to write "Merry Christmas" instead of "Merry X-mas".
