Dealing With Negative Relatives During the Holidays

I heard a story that someone asked a Polish citizen living under the communist regime if he regarded his Russian comrades as friends or family. “ Family,” he quickly responded.  “You can choose your friends.”  Now with Thanksgiving around the corner, many of us will be face to fork with family and in-laws who may put us in a “fowl” mood (okay, okay, no more of bad turkey puns in this blog entry.)

ADVICE FOR THE WICKED by Carolyn Graham

Create harmless mischief whenever possible.   Find a friend who likes to incite you and will share in some mischievous hilarity.  If there are no friends available, use your best thinking and mentally engineer an event  designed precisely to meet your needs.

If someone tells you your bread’s not baked, or you have a loose screw, or your elevator doesn’t go to the top, consider yourself highly complimented and extraordinarily gifted.  You have probably shed some of the constricting and restricting bounds of convention.
