In reply to the discussion: Why Trump Voters Are Not Welcome In My House This Holiday [View all]kelly1mm
(5,006 posts)76. Not the Aunt herself but moreso the other 25-35 family memebers. Christmas is the main
family get together for the year where almost everyone can be together. My wife was so hurt being excluded and really missed catching up with her cousins and their kids. My wife is also not as politically active as I am and probably voted for Bush I, She now votes Democrat but she is not that engaged.
