I tolerate these holidays, but I don't like them. I agreed to attend Thanksgiving dinner with my cousin, great-aunt, and great-uncle, though I'd have been just as fine staying home and nuking some of the lentils and rice I made the other day. Not that I mind seeing my relatives. In any large group of people gathered for a meal, after about two hours I get the "social fatigue" that I'm sure quite a few of you are familiar with.
For Christmas, I'll be travelling and spending a couple of hours with lots of rowdy relatives. I'll be glad when it's over.
