Maybe that’s gravy not mashed taters?
Ever think of that?

Maybe SuperTub can chime in and let you know what the consistency difference is between mashed taters and gravy.

Had a “know it all aunt” who gave my brother and I some profound advice at family reunions when we were teenagers. She said “ Keep your pecker in your pants”. That was her legacy. Other than that she was a real PIA. Liberal Union lover too. Hated conservatives.

MIL's "boyfriend"
mutli-millionaire know it all who has a comment for everything
We normally rotate Xmas at each others houses. this year the family we were going to visit canceled rather than have him there, and we volunteered - now everyone canceled on coming to be with us except the MIL and him. So instead of spending time with my young nieces and nephews, watching them open their presents, cooking food and drinking wine in the kitchen with the adults and all the other fun stuff, I get to hear his conspiracy theories and how his company would go belly up if he wasn't there to tell customers what to do. On top of everything he else, he hates dogs so we have to keep them penned up while he is here.
Yes I should tell him to phug off and stay home but then my wife doesn't get to spend time with her elderly mom , which means I have to deal with an unhappy wife.
Xmas is going to suck

My aunt, mothers side. She makes the best tater salad in the world, on the other hand dumb as a football bat. In her mind "She's all that and a bag of chips". Other than that my large extended family gets along pretty well. We have an unspoken policy of " Don't be gettin' up in my bidness" unless I ask you.

But, I generally don’t like entertaining relatives. They think they can do whatever because we’re “family”. My BIL has retarded twins that strip naked and sit their nasty asses on stuff. Then, I start calling people out, people get pissed and leave, the wife starts crying. It’s like clockwork.
A brother from another mother....I go along, to get along, until I don’t...Then it’s let’s play why you’re a selfish, self centered loser, and your ugly wife is a stupid bitch. Happy Holidays 😝 🦫

My family gets along well, so no real problems for the holidays. It'll be at the folks like always-Mom &Dad both look forward to hosting. I suppose the only sort of bad actor there might be my sisters little black lab. She's a bit of a nervous dog. If she gets out of hand my sister puts her in her crate and the dog calms right down.

My fathers side sort of soured me for family get togethers. Every time they got together for the holidays most of them ended up seriously drunk and obnoxious. It’s better now since they are all dead.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Both of our parents are gone. We get along fine with all of my brothers and their kids. But there's too many kids and grandkids now, so we only get together around Christmas to see everybody.
My wife's sisters and their kids will be over for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I get along great with my BIL. The other two sisters are divorced. I get along great with my SIL's. About 30 years ago I made it perfectly clear that I'm not married to them and I'm not going to take their schit. After that schit hit the fan, we've been on good terms and everybody's happy.

I bowed my head and thanked the Lord for my many blessings and our beautiful meal. Just as everyone thought I was going to finish with an "Amen" I asked the Lord for a favor..."Oh...and Almighty Lord, please don't let Hillary Clinton become president of our beloved Country....Amen. My wife stomped my foot with her heel under the table and there was a noticeable awkwardness at the table...🤣🤣🤣 ........
