We are spending Christmas with my family this year. My mom and handicapped brother flew out to Atlanta and I am heading out there tonight. It has been several years since we spent Christmas with just my family and it should be an interesting experience.

I get along with everyone; however, my mother and oldest brother have issues stemming back from childhood. My SIL dislikes my mother for similar issues and it's great fun to listen to everyone complain.

I think it should be a good holiday though and I'm looking forward to it. It seems like Christmas brings out the best in everyone in my family and then we complain later. I can live with that.
