THE UNAVOIDABLE FAMILY MEMBERS OVER THE HOLIDAYS

ree

First, Merry Christmas Eve to all those who celebrate, and Happy Holidays to all those who don't amongst all the Breakdown Blog readers. Since it's the holidays, let's talk about all the relatives you will see today, tomorrow, and a few days after, and you'll be wondering why the hell they haven't left. Crack open the eggnog, spike it with something heavy, and pray you don't run into these relatives over the next couple of days.


THE DRUNK UNCLE

Bobby Moynihan made this stereotype a recurring character on "Weekend Update" for a reason. Drunk Uncle's come in all shapes and sizes regardless of demographics. If where you live says "y'all", it's probably a 30-rack of Busch Light or moonshine while he criticizes the NFL for abandoning the fullback. If your uncle makes the most money in the family, it's either some crazy expensive bourbon or wine he's drinking and he's just "letting loose" after a busy couple of months in the office. Either way, he's passed out by 8 pm after one dinner plate, wakes back up at 10:30, eats cookies, and stumbles back to where the family is.


THE CRAZY AUNT

"Crazy" is a very broad term here. Crazy could mean she's on her 10th boyfriend in 8 years after already being divorced more than twice. It could mean she has a brand new interest that will dictate her entire personality for the next couple of months. Never bring up politics around her because she has VERY strong opinions about them no matter what side she voted for. She does ball out and gives insanely good presents with nothing diverting from the list she asked from you on November 1st so she can take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.


THE WEIRD COUSIN

We all of that one cousin that makes you ask if they were adopted. They might not be the black sheep of the family but they are the most unique. It could be a scarf-wearing, poetry-reading, SAT-word-using one. It could be an anime-watching one who has just a tad too much knowledge of Japanese culture. They're always nice and never rude and you genuinely do love them but you hate being stuck in a one-on-one conversation with them or alone in the same room.


THE "DIFFERENT GENERATION" GRANDPARENT

We all know them. If they had a Twitter or Facebook and shared their thoughts on certain topics, they'd be canceled. And that's before the drinks start flowing. Even if their opinions aren't cancel-worthy, it's enough for an eye roll or raised eyebrow. Every year they give you socks/underwear and a crisp $20 bill with a note saying "Don't spend it all in one place".


At the end of the day, there are countless more crazy relatives that you may bump into but these are the ones that stand out amongst the others. Happy holidays Breakdown Blog readers!
