    Not I obviously! hahahaha

    I know a lot of people have lots of family drama though, or they hate cooking the big meal, or traveling.

    I'm glad I love my family and have a healthy relationship with food so I'm not miserable during this holiday.

    Family drama is what we like to have for dessert!! It wouldn't be a holiday without it.

    Excessive cooking and cleaning for ONE meal. However, that issue has been terminated by an online order. I LOVE it now!

    I dread the 3 hour drive back home in crappy traffic. After a large meal, I just want to take a nap, not be stressed out.

    Because my family is completely insane.

    Yeah, yeah, everyone says their family is crazy, I get it. BUT try having a family function where you sit across from your father new girlfriend that is a 22 year old heroin addict (I'm 31 btw) and then you can get on my level.

    NO BUENO! Good luck with that. I can see why you would not look forward to it.
