And I know Damsel well enough to know her family - if she says they're not fit to have a holiday meal with, so be it. She had a good time with Crash's daughter and that side of the family. Damsel is not an evil witch. As for getting off Usenet, hmmm. All she did was reply to a multitude of replies to a post which we all felt was a bit off kilter.

I find this thread about having a "miserable Christmas" due to feeling
obligated to spend it with people they detest interesting. It reminds me of the Bob Rivers parody, "The Twelve Pains of Christmas," in which one item is dealing with unpleasant relatives, e.g., "She's a witch - I hate her." However, consider this for a moment. You may not be fond of certain members of your family, whether siblings, aunts, uncles, in-laws, nieces, nephews, etc., but they are, for lack of a better word, "family." (Atlanta comedian Jeff Foxworthy said the best place to see people weirder than your own family is the state fair, but I digress.) They may be unpleasant, assholes, whores, or whatever, but they're your relations. It's only a day or two which you must tolerate (suffer?) them, so don't get bent out of shape. What is a day or two out of a year? Certainly not the end of the world. Put this another way, inasmuch you may dislike certain members of your family, when they're gone, they're gone. Believe it or not, you WILL miss Uncle Marty's lame jokes, Aunt Bertha's overly enthusiastic hugs, Grandpa Steve's oft-told stories, and so on. Treasure them while they're still here. I speak from experience. I lost my father in May 2001 due to congestive heart failure. He was 68 years old. This was the fourth Christmas without him. The memory doesn't really go away. (At the risk of sounding callous, in a weird way it was a relief, because Dad was exceptionally difficult for whom to buy gifts, as he never cultivated any hobbies. His artistic training was never pursued as an avocation, either.) Now, Dad was basically an "average" man, neither exceptionally gifted nor incompetent, but he was a father, a son (his mother survived him), a husband and a father-in-law. When he was called home, he deprived five people of various roles he fulfilled in his time on Earth. Do I sometimes regret things I've said or done to him, knowing I can never apologize, or take them back? You bet I do. So yeah, having to put up with unpleasant family members can be trying, but put it in the proper perspective. It'll help mitigate the pain. As to the subject line of this thread, my Christmas was miserable, but for another reason altogether: transportation. I presently do not have a car, so getting to and from is especially difficult. On Friday, the 24th, I'd hoped to take a train to my mother's, as I had a reasonable expectation I would they would be running. Turned out when I got to the station, the transit agency was running on a holiday schedule, which meant no trains to my outlying point...a station considerably west of the terminus. I was not the only person so inconvenienced, either. Predictably, I was steamed at this, although the fault is squarely mine, for not having researched it in the first place. Nevertheless, I was incensed at the transit agency's decision to run on a holiday schedule on Christmas EVE, a WEEKDAY. So, I began the ten-mile walk home...and eventually got a ride in a police car to my place. Sigh. And to think I was actually looking forward to opening presents on Christmas Eve (my family's custom) and having some of my mother's Stollen... It wasn't a particularly "merry" Christmas for me this year. :-( Dieter Zakas |

I agree with what you say, Dieter. Still, we can't know what people go
through with their family, whether those members are "just a pain" easily tolderated for a day or two out of the year, or if more serious stuff goes on that's more painful or difficult. I'd say to any person, if you can, cultivate as good relations as you can with your family. It's much better to feel connected than otherwise. However, there is a line where those connections become not worth the pain they put you through. Everyone has to decide where that line is for him or her. |

As you so clearly put it, it is Michael's culpa. )I know you follow your comments with a smiling, Margaret, but you do make it sound like Michael has singled you out for abuse and embarrassment. I know from talking to him on the phone that he absolutely adores you. No doubt, these posts are making him feel bad.  I despise beer and rarely drink anything at all, but I wasn't offended by his reply line. Carol, who loves both Margaret and Michael -- "Years ago my mother used to say to me... She'd say, 'In this world Elwood, you must be oh-so smart or oh-so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." *James Stewart* in the 1950 movie, _Harvey_ |
