So here we are, a few days before Christmas. A lot of us will now spend some quality time with some relations we don’t see often during the year. If you like them, it’s all good. But what if you don’t enjoy their company? here are a couple holiday tips for escaping the prison of family togetherness.
If you are over at their house, at least you can try to leave early. Arrange for a friend to phone and let you know that his hamster died, or that his 14th level fighter Character Fengus the foolish is getting married and the whole party has to be there for one final adventure. Don’t forget to pack your +1 sword.
If that doesn’t work, try drinking all of their Blue Beaver Beer. They might ask you to leave! If they just buy you more beer, maybe you have misjudged them…
If the relatives are at your house, it’s a little harder. Now they decide when they are leaving. This is where one of the strategies overlaps. It might work in this case to drink all the beer and not restock. They would be forced to retreat to their own supply.
Also, even if it doesn’t work, at least you will be pursuing activities that you enjoy. Just remember, if you drink so much that you throw up on your children on Christmas eve they will probably hate you for a long time, so don’t take this too far.
Well, have a good time out there,and if you are feeling blue, grab a Beaver.
