I can understand that- I hate that part of the holidays, but have found that I can handle sitting around the table and enjoying pleasant conversation with people I don't see often... but if I have to deal with my crazy family- forget it.. its why I stay in MI with friends or part of DH's family instead! Same thing with Passover, though every few years I have to give in and go to moms.. I was thinking of inviting the family here this coming year, but only if we'removed and into the new house by then!
