These are the first holidays since dad brought his girlfriend home (he’s 47, she’s 24). My brother and I live with him. At this year’s Christmas meal besides the usual guests, mom and girlfriend’s parents were also present. Definitely an unusual situation but it was a nice event cause everybody was levelheaded.
It was good. My cranky communist granpa didn’t start a massive argument for once, which was nice. He doesn’t understand that everyone agrees with him, but that we still want to have a nice evening free from anger and bitternes.
