The BAH HUMBUG thread, whats wrong with Christmas

Decade ago, back in SW Ga., my mother would invite all the relatives over for Christmas dinner. Probably 30 people, aunts , uncles, cousins, and some more distant claimed relatives. What a feed. There was the dining room table that sat 8, then the kitchen table that 6 could get around, people on TV trays ( remember those?), and the rest putting that plate on the hood of some car! Then years went by, aunts/uncle died off, cousins moved way away, and one Christmas it was my mother, me and the wife. I had finally graduated to the BIG table! But what a let down and depressing it was!
