I am not a big holiday person. My family typically has a low key Christmas. This year it is my husbands turn to chose what we do. We returned to his spawning ground for a traditional Christmas. This involves staying with family and friends. Here are some hints on what not to do.
Forget to inform your medically fragile guest you have "some sort of bug" that your "grandchild picked up" at preschool and you're "positive" you can't be contagious. Make sure to tell them 12 hours in to their visit. After you have coughed in their face a bunch. Particularly if hey had other options. Be upset when they get sick.
If you have fleas, bed bugs, and/or ticks, invite guests to stay the night. Don't inform them until they a) find a critter on you pet b) and/or have to have you remove one or more that have burrowed under/into their skin. Bonus points if they don't find the tick till they left to their next location.
If your guests has dietary/medical restrictions, ignore them. Even if you were informed in advance, even if that person offers to cook, help, or purchase food. Try to feed them their allergy foods. Act insulted when they decline. Get mad if they eat food they brought from home. When picking a restaraunt get upset when the person cannot eat, or only has one option. Yell at the waitstaff as if they designed the menu.
Three different house holds.
The list so far. Halfway thru this trip.
This is why I don't get into the holiday spirit.
