[quote=Anonymous]Why do holidays bring out the worst? The grumblers in my family tend to think they're being kind and tolerant all year long, when in reality their indignation is festering. Thanksgiving is like the proving grounds, for everybody else to prove their loyalty. They're thinking to themselves, "Sally wouldn't dare to mess up my Thanksgiving after all this hard work I put in to it, not to mention I acquiesced to eating at Chuck E. Cheese for little Joey's birthday in July, which was a huge compromise on my part." And then, little did you know she's been harboring these simmering feelings, but boom, "Oh no she did NOT just tell me she's going to bring extra pie to MY Thanksgiving. That's it, I've had it!" It doesn't matter what you do or say, the littlest thing gives them the fuel (and the right, in their opinion) to lose their shit. It's like they're hoping for it. [/quote]
