I assume this thing is going to be epic being an election year so let's get it started. We're going to Kansas City to celebrate my dad's 80th a little early and I think it'll actually be pretty great.  Much of my family are Republicans but they've been pretty okay with keeping their mouths shut about politics of late. My loud mouth sister will be there who is absolute nuts and MAGA so it could be interesting. My wife and I are staying in a hotel all week so we can at least escape when/if we need to. It's also my first major holiday sober so wish me luck in keeping it that way. Let's hear it.

Well since it's that time of year again... 

It's that time of year again for a classic favorite Xmas tale.

For your entertainment, I copied from a previous Holiday board - 

ORIGINALLY POSTED by WIDE-E-WIDE Dec 2006

Its been 18 years, but damn its still funny.

 

After much deliberation, I will reluctantly tell the story of my family touring the Christmas lights in Waco last week.

My wife told me about this thing at the beginning of December. To be honest I had forgotten all about it until the night before. I did not want to go. Call me a scrooge but riding around looking at electricity captured in colored bulbs is not my idea of entertainment. However, the kids were looking forward to it and apparently at some point I had agreed to do it.

This little tour got us for 6 bucks a head. My wife, her parents, our 4 kids and I all went. Now I wasn’t a math major but that's $48 to ride around in a trolley and look at lights. WTF? (I found this out the day of)

So we drive all the way the hell to downtown Waco and sit and wait for this trolley to take us on the tour. They’ve got a tree, Santa, hot cocoa- All that shit. Finally all the trolleys roll up and Shaquandra our official Christmas lights tour guide hops out and says “Y’all going to look at the lights?....(pause) Okay den let’s get our roll on!”  

My initial gripe is that the bitch is driving at mach speed and you can’t see shit but a blurry-ass Santa and the occasional Wal-Mart $9.99 wire light-up reindeer. My father-in-law asks if she could slow down a bit so that we could take pictures and appreciate the lights a little more..(his words not mine). By this time I’ve already leaned over and whispered in my wife’s ear “$48 for this shit?”  She gives me the obligatory elbow and “stop being like that”

We roll along for about 15 minutes looking at every tacky piece of shit overkill light extravaganza in East Waco. Suddenly we get on the highway and start heading to the other side of town. We ride for a good 12-15 minutes without seeing a single damn house decorated. So I lean over to the wife again and say “umm where the hell are we going?”
Elbow “shut up” and all that again. Shaquandra has Mariah Carey’s Christmas cd blasting and we just getting our roll on...and then it happened.

Signs and streets started to look really familiar. My oldest daughter says “hey there’s HEB.” As in the HEB right down the road from our house (approx. 1/2 mile)
I lean over to the wife again “This bitch better not turn right at this light!”
What does the driver do????? That’s right folks, fucking turns right and heads right to our neighborhood. Not only our neighborhood “BUT OUR FUCKING STREET!!

I am just at a loss for words by this point. I cannot believe this is happening. Street after street, house after house for a good 30 minutes. The driver is going on and on about “oooh like over thurr- look at the Santa up on the roof kids.” I know bitch “I'M THE ONE THAT FUCKING PUT HIS FAT ASS UP THERE LAST WEEK"

I can’t type this anymore it's just too painful. The point is, we spent almost $50 to look at the Christmas lights in our own damn neighborhood. My wife just hung her head in shame. I’ll be in charge of Christmas spirit next year thank you very much.

Been there for the first sober holiday last year. It was illuminating. Uncle got so hammered he couldn’t get his ass off of the floor. I didn’t give a shit.

You will notice a lot of drunk people. You likely won’t give a shit.

They may notice and say something about you not drinking. Don’t give a shit about that shit.

Merry Christmas!

I asked my wife if we have any Thanksgiving obligations this year and she replied "no. Should I text mom and ask?"

She held a straight face for a good 5 seconds before bursting out with laughter.

So far we're in the clear, but I'd give it 50/50 we end up spending a night in Kerrville over that weekend. I know this thread will deliver over the next 8 weeks.

This and cell phone flop out are hall of fame classics.

People get shot in my thread winners. FTR, that couple ended up getting married and their first child will soon be born.  Sometimes life says ‘Fuck the circumstances.’

I’m doubling down with East Coast trips on both Thanksgiving and Christmas.  My son’s in-laws are a wonderful family. There’d be exponentially more potential for powderkeg behavior on my side of the family. 
Not happening this year.
