"May you go forth on your Christmas outings wearing a protective shield of grace and good humor and knowing that there are many in the same boat."

I love it!

I agree, Clinton, I think everybody's family is weird in some way. As I said, I like mine well enough, I just don't really want to spend all day with them. ;-) My mom and my aunt are hard to have conversations with because they constantly interrupt people. Drives me nuts.

And one year we were sitting around the dinner table, and someone asked Mister, who has considerably less hair than he did 20 years ago, if he'd ever tried Rogaine. I mean, really!

It ain't nothin but a thing, though. :-)
