Take a shot every time my mom criticizes my cooking. Take a shot every time my MIL rolls her eyes about our two Christmases in one day. WE CAN HAVE LUNCH AND DINNER IN THE SAME DAY, WE WON'T DIE. Take a shot every time FIL yells at one of the kids. Take a shot every time the kids ask "What can we do next mom? We are BORED OF PLAYING".
Every time DH, who has Mancold- the Holiday Edition- tells me how crappy he feels. If you feel crappy, see a doctor. If you don't feel sick enough to see a doctor, go back upstairs and stop whining.
Everytime DS insists the Fall semester grades aren't available yet. They were due the 19th, but most of his classes had finals and papers that were due a week prior. They're live.
For every package sent to my house by my late sister's ex-husband so as not to spoil Santa for the children of his 3rd litter. Isn't there a statute of limitations on annoying ILs? My sister's been dead almost 21 years.
For every weird gift DH gives me; two shots for books he thinks I'll like. Bonus for those he inscribed so I can't send them back to amazon.
For everytime my mom calls me to muse about how sad she is to be spending Christmas in FL and how she never should have moved away. My parents moved to get away from the drama of my then teen nieces and my idiot BIL (who's keeping Santa alive for his Jewish sons) the very week my DS got dxd with ASD leaving me to go it without help from family after all but raising my sister's kids.
For everytime my dad calls to tell me my mother is sad and won't put the tree up. I know for a fact that there is a fully assembled tree in the garage of your house in FL and your summer place in MD- carry it in and plug it in. Walla! Instant Christmas.

If I took shots, which I don't, I'd take a shot for every time my dead husband's family plans a family Christmas get together on December 28 that they don't tell me about that I have to find out about by accident but now that I know about it, "Of course! We'd love to go! It's only a five-hour drive down, a 4 hour dinner, and a 5 hour drive home. In the dark." That's only one, but I would make it count.
Take a shot for every gift that I get DH that he doesn't like.
...
My husband was at best unenthusiastic about almost every gift I ever got him. I blogged about it once, mentioning we eventually gave up exchanging gifts and gave each other "memories" by which I meant I gave him a bj every birthday and Christmas.
Take a shot every time Ethan blows a fit. (3 times today).
Take a shot every time I see something that reminds me how much I hate this house. (5 times today)
Take a shot every time I ask H to do something, and he disappears to do something else totally irrelevant to getting the house ready for 24 people on Wednesday!!!!! (I am dead from alcohol poisoning).
24 PEOPLE?
How are you not wasted already?
I am trying not to think about it. It's all appetizers and booze, so maybe it will be okay? Or, if it's not I'll just get really drunk and let H deal with it, since 20 of them are his family, lol.
My H and I play a holiday drinking game in our heads. We count how many times my sister just up and disappears to either smoke or use injectable RX drugs. We also played this game on our wedding day.
