Nuggets for Christmas

You just can't make this stuff up.

The usual Christmas plan is for my family to come down and stay with us for the holiday. This year due to a big family fight we decided to have Christmas as just the 3 of us. We hadly ever see The Hub's family at the holidays b/c no one can make a plan , they don't really "do" the big family holiday thing. Usually works out just fine. This year b/c my family was acting like total asses not coming down, I told the Hubs that if he wanted to try to plan something with his family- this would be the perfect time.

Let me preface this with- NO ONE in either of our families is capable of making a plan in advance. Drives us both crazy. Probably more me than him in my type A, anal, OCD organized thinking, but I digress.

He gets the involved parties on the phone and tries to make a plan. By make a plan, I means suggests a day to get together. Fine, whatever. I still have no idea what the actual plan is. Problem is, neither does he. I make him get back on the phone and nail down a "real" plan- meeting place, time, activites involved (food, gifts etc) Everything is all set. Then, the bottom falls out of the plan. Hubs calls back to verify and finds that instead of my MIL brining a ham for Christmas dinner, her husband boyfriend Frank has decided to bring Chicken nuggets. Seriously. Hubs says "You're F*cking kidding, right?" (so much class...)

Now I love a good nugget as much as the next person. I just have a perception of what I think Christmas dinner should be- and it usually doesn't involve food that comes in a cardboard carton.

So, long story short, I am now brining the ham, apple pie, key lime pie, an appetizer and rolls. All to be cooked, packaged and ready to leave by noon on Christmas day. Good times. Nothing like relaxing for the holidays...
