Christmas in a home without Fox News (Dish Network)

10. I guess I'm just lucky.

Of course, my family is small: my mother, my two grown children, their SOs and extended family, and my grandchild. We certainly don't all agree on religion and politics. But then, we generally are focused on other things when we get together, and don't TALK religion and politics. If someone's extended family member/s are there, and do, my family listens politely and moves on without comment. They've been raised to be okay with differences, and to know how to move around someone who wants to create obstacles at a family gathering.

Nobody in my family discusses tv news or radio; we read our news, and sometimes talk about current events, but are generally more focused on each other, our lives, and our particular interests when we get to spend time together.

An example: we played a trivia game yesterday; the answer to a question had something to do with a Kardashian. Of the 6 people playing, only one knew enough about them to know that they have a tv show. It wasn't me. Half had never heard of them at all.
