3. What a bummer. Did you go to my family's house for Christmas, by chance?

I didn't go, so am not sure who was there.

Yeah, I would've retreated under those circumstances. I'm not one to do that, typically, but that was so bad that I think I would've faked a nap. Oh, who am I kidding? I would've just told the old man, "Can't we have a nice holiday without criticizing people, getting into religion and politics, and arguing? Waddya say? If you agree not to criticize Obama and Methodists and liberals, I'll agree not to trash Bush and Republicans."
