Facing problematic relatives at Christmas

Not everyone will agree with me, but I find if I talk someone up too much, I end up a little disappointed in them when I see them next. Conversely, if I villainize someone, they don't seem so bad next time we meet. So I am going to spend a few minutes complaining/venting about some of my relatives, in the hopes that when I see them at Christmas they don't live up to my bad opinions. I encourage you to do the same.

Brother - Talks loudly, and at great length, expounding on every topic as though he were the leading authority and we an attentive audience. Sometimes I hide in the bathroom just to give my ears a rest.

Father - I feel guilty complaining about him, but given that the goal is to be more forgiving, he is not exactly a clean freak. I feel compelled to rewash the dishes before using them. I wonder what year he last washed the towels in his bathroom. I long to get out his vacuum and get rid of the dirt and dust hugging the baseboards in every room. I get the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.

Sister-In-Law - Ultra important. Never ever brings food, or helps pickup, or does dishes. Cried two Christmases ago when she felt one of her sons did not get enough presents.

And you?
