That's been a hit with my family this Christmas, too.
Everybody bought Sudoku books for everyone else. Oh, well. The kids are actually doing puzzles, reading and Sudoku instead of playing video games.
With all you've said about your family, I think it would behoove you to stop by Christmas Eve and
avoid the whole thing on Christmas day. Just my opinion, of course.
My 8-year-old threw up on the way home from family celebration Christmas Eve, all over the back seat
Then threw up approximately every hour from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning. Not the Christmas I had planned, up cleaning bodily fluids all night. Somehow Santa managed to come overnight, too. My husband, me and the 2-year-old didn't get the bug until last night, it's vicious! Hopefully that's all over now and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation!
Anyone in your life who enjoys seeing you upset -- gets a kick out of it?
If you say you don't like a certain behavior or comment, it only makes him do it more and more and over many years just to get a reaction long after you have stopped reacting.
Or who is controlling to the point he wants to know when you showered and why do you need to shower if you didn't leave the house.
Or steals your glory, ideas for inventions or any project you start to say it was his idea and really mean it.
Or is extremely macho and needs to dominate the woman in his life or else he feels disrespected by her.
Or breaks things when he tells you to shut up during a discussion that isn't going his way and you don't.
Or….etc. --
But is happy and smiley face when it's time for dinner to be on the table.

lasagna, salad, and garlic bread
My husband took over many of the traditional SM
duties at our house. My earning power was so much greater than his that it made sense. He turned into a kick-heinie cook!
I dunno know about cottage cheese since lasagna has that (or ricotta) already in it??
I'd lean more towards traditional etiquette as well. sm
I think it's tacky. I recently received an invitation that had a printed card for a Penney's registry inside and thought it was inappropriate. Taking calls and answering questions are all just part of being the bride - just enjoy it! Congratulations!
I don't know what the fuss is about...
I only have one account and I NEVER run out of work - pay is fantastic, too! You people are such Wendy Winers. Sheesh.
What's all this fuss I hear about...
Three "Super Centers" for MedQuist? Three regional centers with no more branches? What are the three centers? What shall become of us all?
We're in CA and have a lot of year-round schools. I like it better than the traditional schedule.

If you make enough of a fuss at your bank they
can, and will, release the funds back to you immediately. We bank at Commerce, and have had so many flubs with our debit card that we have 2 separate accounts - one just for the debit card with a limited balance in case it ever gets hit. But we have had lots of errors - ebay once hit the card for one of those burps at 1 cent for about a zillion times - other errors just like above, and I was told, too, that it had to take 3 days to release the hold. When I flipped out over it, it got released immediately. After all, it is our bank and we are the customer, right? Stick to your guns and you'll get your $$ instantly, if a mistake has been made that is verifiable.
Indifferent, never liked or disliked him. Never saw what all the fuss was about.

smoked picnic in crock pot...no muss, no fuss
Add to crockpot (no water needed). Cook high 4 to 5 hours and lo 11 to 12 hours.
A Christmas Story is my fave Christmas movie...forgot that one!

Skip Christmas Day and do drinks/snacks Christmas
Eve and spend a peaceful Christmas doing whatever it is you want to do. If you're all of 47 years old you're evidently a slow learner : )

i live in MA and $1200-$1400 a month is what good health insurance costs, ie $20-$40 copays. it was just passed into law that if you live in MA you have to have medical insurance so without being self-employed, you can go right to BCBS etc and get a plan directly from the major health insurace companies, but for a family plan and a decent income bracket, forget it. the prices are outragous. right now my husband pays $120 a week for family plan and this is after his employer pays 30% of the total cost. we have $20 copays, but we have a $2000 individual deductable per year with a $4000 family deductible cap. so when my daughther needed her tonsils out, $2000 and when my son broke his arm, $2000. someone on this board has to be able to tell you what they pay for insurance through their company as an employee. good luck.
Dinner
Stouffer's frozen - chicken enchaladas with rice. It is sooo good and tastes homemade!
73 and nothing for dinner!
Everyone is gone! I've had a chicken sandwich and I'm getting my weekend work done so I can have some time off when everyone is home. 
What is everyone else having for dinner?
It is unseasonably cool here this week and I have been thinking about a pot of chili.
We don't go out to dinner at all.
We'll order pizza, grab takeout or go out to lunch maybe three or four times per month.
What's for dinner??
Chili, salad, cornbread.
Out to dinner
On the money I make doing MT, I'm lucky if I can pay all my bills much less go out to eat. I was better off 20 years ago when I actually had enough money left over to be able to do so.
What's for dinner??
Boxed white cheddar mac and cheese, big salad, garlic bread. Not very exciting.
What is for dinner
Is that all you think about is food?

What's for Dinner?
Tonight we are having one of our traditional comfort foods: Pasta and Prego (hey, it's pretty good!), a huge salad, garlic bread and hopefully dessert if I can get hubby to run out and get it.. heh.
I am looking for a good pot roast recipe for the crock pot. I know I can Google one but I remember there are a lot of good cooks on this board. (Haven't been here in a while.) We plan to use the leftover beef for shredded beef tacos the next day.. which my son, home from college for a couple of weeks, has been craving.
Anything will be appreciated! Thanks.
Dinner
We had Pizones from Pizza Hut. Friday is no cooking night at our house.
dinner
Oh man that sounds good! We had PB&J tonight!
Dinner
I know a lot of y'all don't like Wal-Mart, but they had some angus burgers with bacon and cheddar. Just thaw and plop on the ole George Foreman grill, fries and a salad. YUM. Other flavors too, mushroom & swiss is quite tasty, also.
Sorry, going out to dinner, sorry about your
plight and having difficulties on your income.
What's for dinner/supper?
Meatloaf, baked potatoes, salad, rolls, .... still need something easy for dessert. We have tons of strawberries.
What's for dinner tonight?
I'm going to make three types of maki-sushi and wontons because I have salmon, shrimp and tun in there to use up. I just love messing with the little bamboo sushi mat. It's so cute! LOL
I think of it this way - How much would you spend on dinner for you and
your spouse or significant other at a nice restaraunt? That is what your gift should be or a little more depending on if it is a family member. So, if you go to a very nice restaraunt and spend $70 for dinner for the two of you, including drinks, than the gift should be about that as they are providing you with a dinner at the wedding, right?
It may be off base, but that is how I figure it. If it is a family member, I usually will give $100 or more.
are you having wine with dinner?
just curious but your posts are not making much sense. not that there's anything wrong with wine with dinner, it's just maybe not so wise to post on MT boards when you are so "relaxed".
dinner tonight
With fresh tomatoes and peppers abounding in this area, I have made some salsa and we are having chicken burritos with fresh salsa and fresh peaches. Not much work and lots of good eating.
What's for dinner tonight?
Leftovers here. I am not cooking. I've got homemade cheeseburger pizza, chipotle grilled chicken, biscuits and sausage gravy, tacos, soup, sandwiches and salad that need to be eaten up.
Dinner? Oh @*&^ something is burning again. :)
Not kidding. Forgot to set my "office timer" and saved the meatballs just in time. 
My dinner plans
I am so sorry that your doggy had diarrhea all over your face. OH GEEZ, I didn't realize that is really what you look like - again sorry.
Turkey dinner...

Happy Thanks Giving!!
Dinner tonight
