Pretty Good Christmas

I had a pretty good Christmas. The only aspects of it that I dislike was the awkward conversations I participated in with my family members. There is something about talking to a uncle or an aunt that you only see like twice a year that feels so... weird. I mean I literally have no clue what to say to them. I try to create small talk, but that just yields a hollow and ephemeral conversation. But that is what the extended family is about right? trying to interact with people you see sparingly.
