How do you deal with rude, objectionable family members who will be joining you for Christmas?

I have all the right stuff.  In my medicine cabinet, that is.    I have had a lot of practice.  I drank one year and I won't do that one again ever.  HAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa

Now I make sure I am CALM and nothing can phase me so I don't react because I feel good.  So, I will medicate my nerves without alcohol.  If I were more spiritually evolved?  *(maybe next year, we can only hope) I would meditate and do it the grownup way.  But I don't trust myself not to react and I need chemical insurance that I do not.

I wouldn't and actually don't invite such people... I always have a very quiet christmas.. I don't see the point in inviting people who are not grateful.

We live with it. They are family. And anyway we know them well enough to know how to hande. It is different for each

They aren't mutually exclusive.   The rude family members are the least objectionable and the objectionable family members are the nicest in my family.

If it wasn't for them, family get together's would be boring.
