I’m almost 40 and I’m still waiting for someone to die so I can sit on the fucking couch finally…

Growing up my mom was the one sitting on the floor next to the tree handing out presents while my dad had the trash bag held open for us to throw the wrapping paper into

The answer is alcohol! There’s a reason Christmas eggnog is a thing.

Well he’s not a good boy, he’s the best. That’s why he gets the best presents.

Nope I’m the uncle who gets like 2 pity gifts, that I’d rather not have because I can buy all my own stuff. I also only give cash

I was the youngest who needed to be distracted by helping hand out the presents and to this day it’s still my job!

Christmas got way better once my twin and I got disowned. Our seating chart turned into:
TV playing a Disney movie (Mulan and Emperor’s New Groove were tradition)
Coffee table with bowls of Mac & cheese and random chocolate wrappers from our stockings that we gave each other
Me. Twin brother.

I forgot someone who is trying to collect all the unripped wrapping paper to reuse it next year.

As the uncle who only gets 2 gifts, I am bummed to learn the reason behind it.

Our Christmas is a little different than most. No tree because of kitties, but we do have stockings and decorations up. We make breakfast together and have coffee with whiskey and open our stockings, we don’t do gifts, we save that money for trips. We put on Die Hard and enjoy the morning before we head out for the big family dinner.

This is why Christmas *Eve* is for extended family. Christmas *Day* is for opening presents at home with only immediate family (parents/kids), and enjoying those presents at home, not telling kids to put their new toys away so we can go to the smelly uncle’s house because aunt needs a Big Christmas Day or Her Holidays Will Be Ruined^(TM).
Put a ham on the smoker, drink a cup of coffee while the kids tear through their presents, and enjoy *without* the inevitable extended family drama.
