"Did you know they just passed a law in Afghanistan that women aren't even talk to each other anymore?" - My Zionist cousin at Xmas dinner.
The rest of the family proceeded to spend half an hour ranting about how terrible Arabs are.
..so, how's your holiday been? 
It was just my grandparents and my folks, and politics thankfully never got brought up.
They actually kind of liked my vegan Pizzelles: My Pizzelle recipe is officially Italian grandmother approved
Christmas eve however I spent with my mom's side, which is pretty WASPy. To add insult to injury I'm in a bad spot in my life: I lost my job and have been unemployed for a good while and haven't gotten any attention from anyone and my cousin was there. He's a good guy but I'm going to fully admit it: I'm jealous of him. I don't blame him for it one bit, like I'm happy for him. However, it's just a huge punch in the gut to be doubly reminded of my inferiority. Obviously I chatted and all, but I still feel like an asshole for feeling jealous.
