Personally, I can never get enough of singing "la", nor Christmas, la la, nor the day itself, la la la, when the whole family gets together. In a single room. Seated around a table. At the same time. For the first time since last Christmas. La la.
For invariably, this is what happens.What are some new ledlamp coming out in 2009?
The word goes out that Christmas lunch will, this year, be held at Relative A's house. It's Relative A's "turn". Relatives B and C get straight on the phone for a whinge. How are we going to all fit in their dining room for lunch?
Have you seen it? Do you know how small their house is?
Relative A declares that Relatives B and C can do the salads, Relative D the dessert and Relative E can bring the seafood. Relative E immediately complains to Relative D that seafood is so much more expensive than salads and desserts,Essential-Watches.com sells only 100% chloehandbag , and this "isn't fair". What exactly is Relative A contributing, apart from the venue? Remember last year, when Relative A brought a frozen pavlova and a couple of small mangoes? Relative E thinks the seafood burden might be punishment for the tin of home-baked shortbread she gave A for Christmas last year. La la la.
Mid-morning on Christmas Day, everyone arrives at Relative A's house. Someone has decided to serve cheap spumante and orange juice. Within an hour Grandfather A is slurring his words, slapping grandchildren on the back and reducing them to tears and obscenely tonguing a Moschino cherry about his dentures.The great selection of wholesale breitlingstore at TradeTang.
Gifts are exchanged.
The year before, Relative A gave Sister-in-Law A a cheap bottle of perfume. This time, Sister-in-Law A gives Relative A the same bottle. (It might in fact be exactly the same bottle,replicalvhandbag at discount prices from Timepiecetrader. recycled.)
Relative A gives a fake smile of thanks and air-kisses Sister-in-Law A's cheeks, quietly thinking to herself: "Why did I spend more than $50 this year on this cow?"
While Sister-in-Law A is thinking: "Cop that you miserly cow."
Relative A then gives Relative E, of the seafood burden, the gift of a tin of home-baked shortbread. For the past five years Teenage Boy A has been given a bottle of Brut 33 aftershave by Relative C. This year he gets a bottle of Brut 33 by Relative C.
Meanwhile, the husband of Relative A showed, earlier in the year, a penchant for golf. He opens his presents from A, B, C, D, E, F, G and quite a few others. The presents are golf socks, a novelty set of tees, golf socks, a golf book, a golf shirt with "GOLF" written on the pocket, golf socks and a Tiger Woods DVD.
At lunch, Grandfather A, who has drained the second bottle of cheap spumante, sans orange juice, is eating with all the grace of a starved bison. Grandmother A is looking at him, repulsed. It is a look that goes beyond the gobbets of gravy on the old man's chin and says: "I wasted 57 years of my life with this?"
Relative A puts a minuscule portion of B and C's salads on her plate. B and C notice and decide to ignore her for the rest of the day. D says: "We're off to Europe in March!" B and C roll their eyes. E counter-punches with details of the lap pool they're inserting before the end of summer. Grandfather B watches Grandfather A wipe his chin clean with his left hand. Grandfather B is still seething at a lewd suggestion Grandfather A made to his wife 31 years ago.
Near the end of lunch, Uncle A turns up, sloshed. Two years ago, Uncle A got into a small dust-up with Relative G over the comparative merits of rugby league and Australian rules. Uncle A is wearing a Collingwood cap. G sports his Broncos hat. The room collectively puckers. La la la.
By late afternoon Relative A has intentionally lathered herself with the cheap perfume from Sister-in-Law A and the house reeks of it. Grandfather A is snoring in the corner,Welcome to monclerouterwear In Nyc on Facebook. gravy crusted to the front of his shirt. Relative D is crying in the backyard because nobody touched her frozen cheesecake. A, B, and C and others are complaining of stomach irritations which they suspect may have come from E's cheap seafood.
And Uncle A leaves with a shiner after making a comment about Relative G's wife's breasts, his dirty Collingwood cap lost in the shrubbery.
Everybody leaves, some supported by their own legs, others not and all think the same thing: "We will never do this again."
