Furrygoat: This, of course, usually has the unfortunate side effect of landing me in some hot water with the family when it comes to proper etiquette. Such was the case with this year’s holiday card. … Well, let me just say that the family didn’t quite understand or appreciate my good sense of humor. My parents (as were other relatives apparently) weren’t as pleased with it as I was.

Nice to know that I’m not the only one quagmired in holiday chaos this year!
