Large Christmas gatherings with family are more appealing in theory than they are in real life.
First at my mother's... where my teenage niece spent the whole time texting, I felt stressed about my kids being loud and messing up the house, and the prank gift that I do almost every year (where I'll wrap up some of my mom's underwear, give it to my brother-in-law, and sign it from my mom) wasn't really even that funny because I've done it so many times.
Then, at my in-laws... where there is one bathroom for 20 people (although that wasn't even a big deal), lots of noise, and I don't feel good because I can't seem to control myself around all of this holiday food. Ugh.
The kids really enjoy it though.

Same here - I've been battling a headache from the artificial stuff my body has become unaccustomed to. But Claire had such a blast, and I actually had fun, too, so I'm taking one for the team with minimal complaining. 5%!!!
Merry Christmas!
