[quote=Anonymous]Low expectations helps a TON. I stopped expecting them to be normal and fun on holidays! I started placing little bets with myself on when my MIL would get in her first dig (before I'd taken my first bite of my meal!) or how long it'd take until my SIL turns some conversations that is clearly not about her, into a conversation all about her (we made it about 5 minutes into the meal!). Now I can almost enjoy myself. I know! It's crazy. But I just stopped expecting them to be fun and it helps immensely.[/quote]
