Backstory

Drunk Uncle Danny, Sexy Suzy bending over the mashed potatoes, Whining Wendy, Jokester Jack, Passive-Agressive Patti (often the MIL), Fabulously Fit Francie (we all hate her when she skips the damn pie), make sure she sits next to Overweight/Food Issues Olivia (Frets about how fattening the food is while packing it away).

Raging Political Activist Artie, who knows everthing about everything and wants to make sure you know it too.
Drunk Donna, who says inappropriate things...but the good news is, you can't understand most of it and she's usually staggering and has to be put to bed by dessert.
Sulky Sue, the teenager who went vegan this week and eats only raw foods at that.
Deaf Dad, who insists he's NOT losing (lost) his hearing, but misses half of what is said or hears something completely different, which makes for bizarre answers.

accidentaltourist says,

Drive-by Cousin Dan, who swings in for a quick beer and a sandwich made of dinner fixin's for the road, barely shutting off his car because he has cooler places to be.
And lastly, Football Fanatic Frank, who eats in front of the television, dribbling gravy on his lucky jersey while he watches the pre-pregame show.

Love all of these. I have encountered every single one of them at one time or another. I have to add, Braggart Bill, he is the expert at everything and has to one-up everyone in the room. Techie Todd, who text messages and checks his Facebook throughout the meal. He is encouraged of course by Clueless Connie, his mom, who thinks she can turn off the parenting button when at family functions. Oh wait, she never turned it on.

Too funny!

JAD says,

Hilarious!

jl333 says,

Everybody in family is center of attention--except me. I'm the invisible one, black sheep, and always odd one out.

DynamicDbytheC says,

jl333, I knew there was a reason I love you.

maryjane31 says,

Oh this is so funny and great comical writing as well. I also have met most of these characters in my lifetime. Thru the years I've learned just to accept them as they are and hope they don't label me!

Dragonflower says,

House hopping Harriet. She has to be at everyone's house for Thanksgiving and will spend her allotted 30 minutes at your house telling where she's already been and where she still has to go.

BecomingLogyn says,

Hmm
Cunning Cyra (tries to get her way no matter what)
Racist Robert
Deer-hunting Frank
Joking Jamie (makign jokes at the worst times)
Drama Debra
Shushing Shaun (believes that everything should be ignored and not talked about)
Devious Dylan (last year set the table on fire)

DynamicDbytheC says,

Oh, I forgot about Deer-Hunting Frank. I love all of these and there isn't one that I haven't met.

BanjoDan says,

Sour stepfather
Bitter cousin gerald
Sweet cousin elsa
Caroling sister
Meddling mother in law
Stand up comic neice

DynamicDbytheC says,

Let me guess, stand-up comic niece is your favorite and vice versa.
