Actually, it's the other 360 days of the year. My family tends to mind their manners and put politics aside on the holidays.
They gotten better about it over the years. When Zero was running in 2008, they were insufferable. Especially after he won. There are a few that I haven't talked to since then, because the division ran so deep.
The immediate family is more of less disillusioned with 0 and the Dems at this point. They have been for years, but haven't quite broken away from the herd. We'll see if any of them wise up and jump ship by 2016. I hope so.
Many of our family members are liberals. Fortunately, most of them have moved south.
