It's very common to have some anxiety about spending the holidays with relatives, but this year is a special one for me.
I'm going to spend Christmas visiting my neo-conservative, religious-far-right, passive-aggressive parents up in Washington. AAAaand, my awesome brother is going to bring his equally awesome boyfriend home to meet them. My fiance and I will fly in a day early, and we're looking forward to a week-long binge of spiked egg nog and bloody mary's, 'cause if your toungue is numb, you can't taste the uncomfortable, awkward conversation.
To commemorate, I've just ordered T-shirts for all of us, set to arrive the day after Christmas. So, if we're still standing when it's all over, we'll have a new t-shirt to show for it. :)
