Well, the holiday season is here. You’ll be happy to know I survived Thanksgiving, though not without a hitch. I mean, what dysfunctional family would be complete without some sort of holiday mishap?

Let me set the scene for you…

We were all gathered at my son’s home…18 adults and 7 children, all under the age of 8. My daughter-n-law-who is the perfect hostess- had a wonderful spread, complete with a kids table filled with decorations they had made in school, and, well…

We were nibbling at appetizers, drinking great wine, catching up with old friends, when all of a sudden one of the triplets wonders up to a guest and nonchalantly asks, “Why are you so fat?”

Silence fell upon the ENTIRE house. All I could think about was that Southwest Airlines commercial….”Gotta Get Away!”

I mean, there was nothing malicious about his question…kids are inquisitive. It was more embarassing for the adults, and all the more reason for my new invention: The Vodka IV

By this time next year, I’ll have the patent secure, and I can spend the entire dinner drinking from underneath my garments. Nobody will know, and the next holiday will be a breeze.

Have you had any holiday nightmares? Feel free to spread the wealth and share them below!
