Called out someone in my family this year who is always making passive aggressive comments to different people in the family about certain issues. Honestly it felt really good even though it did make things awkward for a few moments. I've never been one to care about social awkwardness though so I just spoke my mind and put them in their place.
She always messes with my one uncle who, quite honestly, has a bit of a drinking problem. She made some comments to me about being lazy (when I work 50 hour weeks and do plenty of odd jobs on the side to make money and I own my own business) and I just had enough of it. After she called me out she told me I was being sensitive and basically tried to turn the whole thing around on me and I sort of embarrassed her in front of everyone for trying to do that. I didn't say anything nasty but I just made her look stupid and it was actually quite satisfying.
Joking is one thing but insulting someone and disguising it as a joke is something different entirely and I've spent enough time on this planet to know the difference, especially when it comes from someone in my family.
Besides that it was a pretty successful day and everyone had a good time! We had green bean casserole, with french onions, and I found out I'm not a fan of it

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
