An Essential Difference Between The Sexes

[poliphilo]

The matriarchs have consulted together and the big family Christmas do- which we were supposed to be hosting- has been called off-  because of snow- which means we have rather a lot of potato hash to eat.

Oh- and (cheerful thought) rather a lot of wine to drink.
 
Here's a major difference between men and women. Women love these affairs- with finger food being passed around and the generations tolerating one another and grandma sat in the corner receiving homage- and men detest them. At least, that's the case in our family. How about yours?

When I was a kid I liked them, sort of. Now I flee screaming, as do most of the members of my family, male or female. My husband hates them, as do his father and (male) cousins, but his female relatives love them.

It was a huge relief this Christmas to be more than 2000 miles away from both families. We had a quiet time to ourselves and didn't have anybody chivvying us to come to the family "do".

It's different when you're a kid. My first few Christmases- with the lights and the toys and the special food and the grandparents coming round- were magical. Then, slowly, it all changed.
