anyone got any real good embarrassing family Christmas feud stories to share?

Answer 1

Well, this is embarrassing for the 2 ladies involved. Mom-in-law, and Aunt-in-law. One gets the family Christmas eve, the other gets the family Christmas day. They go back and forth on who gets what day each year based on family coming to town. One usually makes a ham, the other, a gigantic turkey for the Holiday meal. The two got in a "stubborn fight" a couple of years ago about who was getting what day. We just planned on showing up at the usual time(s). Both ladies had given us different stories on each day. Neither had cooked a turkey or a ham, no one was sure where to go. So on both Christmas eve AND Christmas day they came over to our house, we scrounged for food in the pantry and freezer. The kids loved eat 'cause most were eating peanut butter sandwiches. I remember eating a lot of cheese and crackers and Christmas cookies. The Aunt and Mom in law sat at opposite ends of the couch glaring at each other. (the two wouldn't even ride in the same car together to our house!) After a couple of glasses of wine I think they started speaking again. I'll never forget that Christmas because it was such a panicky, frantic time trying to figure out what to do, how to get all the gifts to our place, make the phone calls, figure out where everyone was, and find something to eat. To this day these two still fuss over the day(s), but pretend the "stubborn" Christmas never happened.

Answer 2

I don't have any for Christmas. The family as a tradition used to send the "thing" to someone every year. It was an old beaded dress from the 1920's that someone had gotten by mistake through a catalog order. I went around for probably 50 years. I guess it finally got lost. But whomever got had to hold it up to themselves and get their picture taken with it. No one was exempt, from grandparents to children. It went by mail coast to coast, and even ended up inside an empty can of corn for disguise. It was fun.

Answer 3

no, do you?
