I wouldn't be able to handle that gracefully. I would definitely be looking for an out.
We just got back from the big Thanksgiving Day dinner at the relatives. It was fine - everybody behaved themselves. The tough part was getting there - traffic was horrible, and moving slowly. Coming home, traffic was flowing well, but it was foggy and drizzly. But we're here, I'm making a cup of tea, and am going to relax on the recliner with a kitty in my lap.
