That being said ...i feel compelled to pontificate on the idiosyncrasies of getting along
with relatives during these particularly stress filled holidays.

Here goes:
- Do not look weird uncle bob directly in the eye or he will obsessively ask to
see you naked until the next holiday, where hopefully, an uneducated relative might make
the same mistake and you will be off the hook. but i can tell you a year of pleading
from a freaky uncle is pretty scary let alone depressing.

- If you have a "goth" cousin, nephew, niece or gramma ...please search them at the door
for firearms and do not let them anywhere near the kitchen knives or family pets.
this is the time of year when little whiney satanists tend to blow.

- The Bing Crosby christmas carol CD is a must. as long as it plays the really old
members of your family will be enchanted by the haunting melodies, and subsequently
will not have time to delve into your personal life, pinch your cheeks, or pee on the carpet.
