Good post! hee hee!
For my gatherings, I'd like to add: "Do not bring your 4 kids, two of their dads, and THEIR 3 sisters each and show up to my house with a single can of cranberries."
Also, "If you are going to bring newcomers (i.e. friends, random relatives from your other side, etc.) please ask them NOT to stare me or my family down, roll their eyes, or make any kind of rude gesture or remark. Blood relatives, we have to put up with. Your freeloading guests, we don't!"
grrrrr!
