MIL smokes like a chimney.  She used to live with us, but was so petty and spiteful all the time that we recently moved her to the hills with another family member.  She gossips, lies, back-stabs, lies some more, shows no respect to anyone, and just generally is one of the most self-centered, sneaky, inconsiderate and selfish people I've ever met.  However, she's HIS mom.  We brought her to our new home 3 days ago to spend Christmas with us, and we were both VERY clear on where she could and could not smoke.  However, she decided yesterday to sneak a cigarette in the main bathroom because she was too lazy to go out on the porch like we had told her to.  She didn't open a window and didn't turn on a fan, and eventually the smell was going down the hallway into all the bedrooms.  I knocked on the door and told her that I needed to get into the bathroom, and she told me that she was getting into the shower.  Fat lie, the woman never bathes, she just wears more perfume.  Eventually, she opened the door and I was standing right there while a cloud of stinky smoke came billowing out with her.  I rudely stomped past her and opened the window, while she made a beeline to the porch.  She hasn't spoken to me since, because she knows that if she does, I am going to tear into her.  I told DH about it, and he told me just to take her back up the hill today (we had thought about letting her stay longer), since he's not in the mood to deal with her games, either.

At the Christmas dinner table my MIL said to my 16 month old DD, "You better be nice to your GP, he's the only one you have."  Granted, this is in fact is the truth.  My father is dead.  He died before my DD was born.  I felt so blessed to be reminded that MY FATHER IS DEAD, just as I was sitting down enjoy another wonderful holiday meal with my ILs!

Worst gift:  My MIL loves to use Christmas as a time for communicating her feelings of resentment towards other family members (after all, that is what Christmas is all about, right?).  Apparently it was my turn to be on the receiving end this year.  For my gift she gave me 3 jars of wrinkle cream, one of them was opened and used.  I guess that the cream didn't work that well, since she has lots of wrinkles herself.  Oh, I also received an arsenal of kitchen knives from her and my GMIL (MIL helps GMIL shop for her gifts).  Good thing that we didn't have to fly home, or I would never be let on the plane.
