The only way to avoid the drinking problem you mention here is to get together with a bunch of proper drinkers for the holidays. That way you avoid all the family too. I'm having Christmas dinner with my eighties parents tomorrow and the other members of the family I can stand and then I'm off on a holiday drinking safari and will meet up with a selection of professional year-round stoners and boozers. That's the way to do it.

God bless you all, have a nice time. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Do they have to sit around while you bore them to death with talk of how smart you are?
They already know. They spent the dinner talking about my dad being ill a couple of days previously.

Actual dialogue from the dinner table :

[both extremely hard of hearing and they yell at each other even when they're sitting next to each other]

Mother [yelling at me]: Do you want to see his sick? It's really unusual. I took photographs of it. They're on my phone.

Me: No thanks mam.

Father [yelling]: Does he want to see my sick?

Mother [yelling] : No, he doesn't want to look at it.
