Holidays are the perfect time to dust off the family dysfunctions, rehash childhood traumas, and revisit old insecurities. Isn't it odd that you are obligated to spend these days off with individuals who just so happened to crawl out of the same gene pool?
Sorry for the cynicism. It's not that bad, really, and has more to do me than them. There's so much to be thankful for - including the fact that the holidays only come once a year. ;-)
Happy Thanksgiving!

It's not that bad, really. I'm just tired. :-P For me, it's the extended family and all the associated baggage that's such a drag. My immediate family is a different story.
I hope y'all have a good holiday, and your boys get along all day! ;-)
Edit
Oh, right, you said 'stranger'. I'd agree with that.
