This issue has sparked a fierce debate online!
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year…
The holiday season has officially begun, and we couldn’t be merrier.
From stores adorned with Christmas lights, to Starbucks bringing out their Gingerbread Lattes…
Life couldn’t get much better.
The tree…
You simply can’t have Christmas without the tree… I mean where is good old Saint Nick going to put the presents otherwise?
There’s something nostalgic about the warm glow of the lights and the twinkle of the ornaments that brings people together.
And this has been the case for generations!
Then there’s the possibility of snow…
I think we’ve all dreamt of a white Christmas once in our lives, and when we get that fresh blanket of snow on the big day, it’s even more idyllic.
With snow comes Snowmen…
And no matter what age you are, there’s something pretty exciting about going out and building your first Snowman of Christmas.
Holiday vacation…
Whether you’ve got time off from work, or you’re headed home from school for the holidays, there’s nothing better than getting that much-needed time away.
Family…
Christmas is a time to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones, whether that’s friends or family, or even just your neighbors, it’s the best time to come together.
Hot drinks…
Hot chocolate, mulled wine, gingerbread lattes, no matter what your drink of choice is, as long as it’s hot, it encapsulates that cozy Christmas feeling.
Parties…
Love them or hate them, Christmas parties are a huge tradition and the best way to get to know your co-workers and spread the holiday cheer.
Sales…
Everyone loves a bargain, and with Christmas being one of the most expensive times of the year, the Christmas sales are one of the best times to bag one.
Giving presents…
Although receiving presents is definitely top of the list during Christmas, it’s also important to give during this time of year, and remember what the whole holiday is all about.
Ice Skating…
Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor rink, there’s something incredibly Christmassy about skating during the holidays.
Staying in and getting cozy by the fire…
The holiday season is the best excuse to relax and de-stress, and what better way to do that than putting your feet up and watching your favorite show with logs burning in the background?
This brings us to the movies…
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the classic Christmas movies.
We’ve had a whole range of movies that have become household staples this time of year…
Some of the classics include Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, and Miracle on 34th Street.
But Christmas can also be a time of contention.
Spending time with extended family can bring about a whole host of issues and feuds.
But one man has shared his own particular issue on Reddit’s AITA forum.
“My sister has two daughters who are incredibly picky eaters at 18 and 15 years old. My sister would come to family parties with a box of pasta and a bag of frozen chicken tenders that she will make for her daughters.”
“This year I told my wife we will not be letting my sister in the kitchen this year and the girls will have the choice of eating what I prepared or not eating.”
“My sister accused me of being a cynic and getting joy from watching the girls be uncomfortable. I told her they are old enough to eat like adults.”
He continued:
“Well, the girls sat and ate bread and butter while telling me that my food looked gross. I looked to my sister to calm them down but told me I deserved this and it’s not their fault for being picky eaters.”
“I know I could have just let my sister do her thing but it was the principle of the situation. I’m not sure if I was being a petty a**hole or if I had a legitimate reason to be upset.”
People flooded the post with their opinions on the situation …
And most very massively on the OP’s side!
“They are 18 and 15, not little kids. They can be picky, you don’t have to accommodate that. It’s very annoying to have someone come into the kitchen and taking up space when you’re cooking a big meal,” wrote one.
Another said: “Not only that, you do not allow your children to sit at the host’s table and insult them.”
Do you agree with the man’s actions?
