For one day each year, my mixed-up family of Jews, Muslims, Christians and New Agers gathers to sing karaoke carols, munch on jello mold and get wasted at church.
  • A lovely summation of the myriad hurdles to family unity we all face...

    We might not all have family members of no less than five religious persuasions, but we all face difficulties relating to our kin at this time of year. Clashes can and will arise out of racial, political, and financial differences, just to scratch the surface. The challenge is to find the common ground that exists between yourself and these annual toasters we all call our families, wherever that may be, and by any means necessary. And if that means a few drinks before the clock hits noon, well, pass the 'special' eggnog...A thoroughly enjoyable read, and one that actually caused me to laugh out loud on more than one occasion, which is more than I can recall for some time. Thanks.
