Well, today is the day we spent a month getting ready for.
Here it is. It's time to light the fuse on this Christmas Carol and hope it doesn't blow up on the launch pad.
Many of us will be seeing the family members today and tomorrow we avoid the rest of the year, so here are some survival tips:
Think of an excuse now for that one person you forgot to buy for. Keep it short and generic.
Complement your hostess. Even if she's married to Guy Fieri, she gets credit for what's on the table.
If there's alcohol don't be the drunkest person there. Everyone else will remember what you did. Always BYOB.
Your cousin Fred was an idiot long before there was a Fox News. You can't fix him no matter how hard you try.
Everybody have a great Christmas. You can rest Friday in your brand new pajamas and slippers. I'll meet you back here.

I love the toon. 
last time I was the drunkest person there and made an ass of myself. 
Now I have to try to live that down. 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
