Yup. We're renting a house in the country near where my sister is. Between us, we only have room for 20-25 people, and we're not inviting the racists.

I think this is the first holiday in about 3 years where we won't have to deal with them. Just a huge relief.

Yeah, I'm advocating this approach for Christmas - just us and the kids. But I'm not going to win. I'm sure we'll have to deal with trumpers for Christmas.

I banned talk of politics. But you have to stay vigilant. It sneaks back into the conversation thru so many angles.

Thankfully, we’ve no Trumpers. Just angry old mainstream Republicans.

Last year a vicious fight erupted over who was the greatest classic rock vocalist. Swearing, personal insults, people being told to leave. Insane.

I also banned champagne before noon.
