Usually, all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins on my dad's side get together for a few days. Exchange gifts, Christmas carols around the piano (sung by a family consisting entirely of Jews, agnosts, and atheists), and at some point all the male cousins get together for an evening of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, trash talk, and beer (which would have been particularly wild this year, as the four male cousins were going to stay in a separate house from the rest of the family).
BUT
My wife and I came down with a nasty bug (respiratory, but we're testing negative for covid) and decided to stay home to avoid exposing the rest of the family, so we're having a much smaller Hannukka celebration with her parents.
I'm currently 4 hours and 45 minutes away from surviving Whammageddon, which would be a first in a very long time. I also might be about to accomplish something even harder: the Mariah Carey Christmas Challenge.
