Yes, the holidays with family can get a bit unbearable at times but why not turn torture into drunken bliss with a little drinking game? Last year Michelle and I compiled a list of quotes from Christmas so others can share our pain. I'm planning on having a 2008 edition of those quotes by the end of the week. In the meantime, I got to thinking about which topics of conversation are most probable during the Christmas festivities and which one would most likely drive me to drink.
I plan on taking a drink anytime:
· Someone makes a passive aggressive comment about my appearance (i.e. weight, hair loss, facial hair growth, etc.).
· Some sort of Obama conspiracy is perpetuated (i.e. the birth certificate "mystery" or his "questionable" associations).
· A passing reference to Prop 8 is made. (I'm really hoping that this doesn't happen. It could be bad news.)
· I am questioned about my finances. (I am, after all, the first person to ever go back to school and take out loans!)
That's all I got right now. I'm sure there will be more to come...

What about the comments about Obama's being inaugurated using his "Muslim" middle name? Apparently some of our family members have been going on about that one. I won't mention any names but it's the family member who none of us will allow to drive us anywhere.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a good one! The only one we had was about Obama's "big ears" and a veiled reference to him looking like a monkey. Ah racism...
