[quote=Anonymous]We love our families and our ILs. Well, we like them. We tolerate them. It's complicated. Even under the best of circumstances, it can be tough to be a host--or to be a guest--over the holidays. What are your best survival tips? As a host: -I keep a hidden stash of snacks for myself in my room. If I need to, I can turn in early and still have some "me time" in my room with a snack or two. My ILs like to stay up until 11, chatting. I'm done being social at about 9. I love my stash and my iPad. -I always "forget" one non-crucial thing. If I need 10 minutes of sanity, I go out to the grocery or the liquor store by myself. If I need to get someone out of the house, I send them to the store to get it. As a guest: -Also a secret stash of snacks. -"Going for a run," which is really more of a stroll with an audiobook. If I say "walk," others might join me. When I say "run," I mean "run until I'm out of sight."[/quote]
