I also wonder if those families actually exist. Christmas is always wonderful with my family, but there does always seem to be a bit of drama at some point during the get togethers. *hugs*

I used to go to my grandmother's every Christmas, until I was about 12, and those were pretty magical. I f there was tension in the air, I was oblivious to it. I was surrounded by great-aunts and great-uncles who seemed to think I was the bees knees, and we played Newmarket (a card games with gambling with pennies) on Boxing Day which somehow I always won half a crown by the end. My mum worked nights, and usually slept all day, but it always put a damper on it if she managed to make it. So I used to exist. Now, I find Christmas a bit tedious. So much hassle and fuss, just to put on a kilo in a day.

Such a wonderful, sad poem. I hope someday you do have that drama-free Christmas.
