The (B)Advent Calendar - Dec 23

Ah, Christmas... What would it be without a barney or six?

The possibilities for conflict are endless...

Dinner round the in-laws' house... They barely tolerate you, criticise the way you bring up their darling grandchildren, make remarks all day about how they "just happened to meet" that "lovely" boy or girl that their son or daughter was engaged to before you - and they're single again, won't let you wash the dishes in case you "break something again" - and then moan about how you're "so lazy and never did a damn thing to help"...

The kids... They fight over who got the best toys, and then break each others' things "accidentally"...

Husband & Wife... He drinks all day, she can't cook like his mother, there's the "Why can't you make an effort to get along with my mother?" arguement...

These sound familiar?
