You are here

To mitigate the drama of the toxic during the Holidays.

Upon the first inkling of toxic crap.

 

"Leave immediately. You may not remain in this gathering to pollute the experiences of everyone else with your issues. Buh-bye."

Lather, rinse, repeat.

 

Happy holidays to all.

Our version of "the talk" will be "Christmas is a day for comfort and joy. We will not discuss any potentially adversarial or related topics. We can set aside a day/time to address your concerns but it won't be today. If you cannot abide by these rules then leave."

I will steal as my own if you are okay with that.

Much less inflamatory than mine.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays.

I am ~13hrs from my second self test and the 72 hour point post last exposure to my COVID+ office mate.

About 6 hours ago I started a headache, the chills, stuffy nose and a slight tightness in my chest.

I hope you feel better soon.

I forgot that aspect of Festivus.

DHs kids get to figure out their own celebrations. I have my beloved holiday back without their antics and my family having to walk on eggshells. Complete disengagement is pure bliss!!
