There Actually IS a Time We Hit Our Limit of Family-Time During Christmas

It’s official . . . . there IS an actual point when we just become dunzo with family time during a Christmas visit.

It hits almost everyone (yes, almost everyone) at some point — and now we know when that point is.

You may identify it as the time when you offer to run that errand, and find yourself traveling to the store over an hour a way just to have more time away from the fam — because battling traffic and strangers out in public just seems more appealing at some point.

When do we actually hit the dunzo point?

December 26th @ 2:13 PM.

Yup!  That’s the average time when we get that “can we go home yet” or “can they leave our house yet” feeling.

Instances that send us to the breaking point of patience lost tend to be:

1.  Criticism for being single or your relationship choices.

2.  Criticism for how you’re handling being an adult.

3.  Stress over cooking.

4.  Bad presents.

5.  Arguments over board games.

6.  Arguments over politics.

7.  Being hungover.

8.  Getting yelled at for not helping around the house enough.

9.  Babysitting everyone’s kids.

10.  Arguments over what to watch on TV.
