Nativity scene in my house!

[Thor]

I know, some old person at the front trying to convince how you brilliant Jesus was, it is torturous on many levels. It sickens me that we were forced to go

I wish I could have back the hours I lost because I was forced to attend church! I would much rather have been playing ball at the schoolyard.

When I was 10 or so my mother used to send me off to church while she stayed home (yeah, great example she set...). One day I was listening to the sermon when I turned around and noticed a friend of mine sitting a few rows back. He motioned for me to come sit with him. I got up and moved to his row, taking up a seat next to my buddy. (I must mention that I moved quickly and quietly.) After the service I was leaving the church and the priest was at the door greeting people as they left. As I walked past I was ready to cheerfully say, "Good morning, Father!". The priest never gave me a chance as he glowered at me and snapped, "You're the one who got up and moved around during the service!". He then proceeded to give me a ration of shit for changing my seat.

Yeah, he really made me want to come back!

Prick.

It seems to me that the problem is with your wife, not her family. You and her need to talk about it, perhaps get her to agree not to put it up in the first place.

Yeah, if I had my way she wouldn't put the stupid thing up in the first place, but she looks at it as a way to connect with her late father.
