We Survived

So we made it through our final Christmas family get together. Surprisingly in one piece. It turned out much better than I had expected. My mom was in the house all of 5seconds when she "suggested" we move our cars down the street so that our "guests" had a place to park (i.e. her and my dad wanted the driveway). I was certain this was going to set the tone for the whole evening, see as how the entire week leading up to the event she had been rearraging my house, sending loads of crap down from her's, and basically telling me every step of the way what I needed to do because "she was no longer in charge of family get togethers." However, it turned out better than expected and there was no bloodshed whatsoever. I am incredibly grateful though that it's over and I won't have to deal with any of it for a few more months until the next holiday.
