Tonight is Christmas at Jaclyn's family's. There will be craziness to spare, but mostly it will be about "You Dirty Rat." Which is a gift-giving game where everyone brings a secret gift and the players take turns picking from under the tree or stealing an already-opened gift from someone else. I've seen it played by others, but no one takes this game as seriously as the *name deleted* family. There are some hurt feelings at the end of the night. The two teenagers taking turns stealing the autographed Sox memorabilia from their Uncle who, BTW has just recovered from cancer. The grandmother complaining that her husband got fishing tackle and he doesn't fish, so somebody has to trade with him. The boyfriend brandishing a knife that is Way Too Big to have at a family party. The aunt who apparently bought a can of Folgers and wrapped it up, but is confused by the gift she's opened - a purse shaped like a bustiere.. (Crap, is that how you spell bustiere? It doesn't look right, but eff it.)

I love it!
