Do you have the most bizarre holdiday season story ...

This has probably happened to other people, but one year i was sat at my parents waiting for everyone to show up, my mother had cooked up a feast and nobody showed up - my brother had a fight with his girlfriend and they refused to even answer the phone for hours, my sister was sick, i cannot remember the other reasons, but i sat there with my parents and had the sadest meal ever.

I think the only bizarre holiday story I have is the year that we got stuck in O'Hare airport for New Years Eve.  I think I was maybe 10 years old, and they wouldn't let us into the bar to count down the seconds.  I remember feeling very left out!!

Wow, this question brings up a memory-blast from the past, and it now reminds me and faces me to remember why I divorced.  You see -- touble happened during a Thanksgiving holiday when my ex and I worked as broadcasters at a radio station.  He elected to remain in the state we worked while I visited my mother for a GREAT home-cooked meal on Thanksgiving.  I called my ex on his cell phone on Thanksgiving day and that night and we spoke happily.   While speaking, I did not have a clue that anything was wrong with our relationship.  Nonetheless, before we hung up, my ex asked me to call him the Friday following Thanksgiving and that if I could not reach him at home -- to try his cell.  Well, I was not able to hear from my ex.  My inner-voice told me that he was with a woman, and he would not call me until Saturday between 11 a.m and noon, which was a motel/hotel's checkout hour.  Well, he called around noon on Saturday, two days following Thanksgiving,  and he confessed that he was checking out of a hotel with another woman.  We divorced thereafter and life is now better.  How bizarre?

I don't know, Gearge.  Can your Hover Round carry the both of us??

DL ~ You have to understand my family.  I come from a long line of compulsively organized people who are ruled by matriarchs that don't put up with excuses or crap.  In other words, every holiday was mapped out like a wedding and everyone showed up, or suffered the consequences.  Holidays were pretty damn good in my family.  One year, I was given this HUGE stuffed dog, as tall as I was, but they wrapped it in a huge green garbage bag, and it was leaning against one of the Christmas lights.  So, he was a bit singed.  Really, that's it!  I have no horror stories, nor do I have any freaky ones either.
