So the family spent Christmas Eve with all the TBMs. Everything was fine until the missionary PowerPoint presentations of deceased family members. No joke... we had to watch 30 to 45 minutes of slides about how these missionaries sacrificed for their church and how without them we wouldn't be here.
IMO it's ridiculous to highlight anyone other than then those in the traditional Christmas story ON Christmas Eve when you claim to be Christian. Most would consider it sacrilegious to do such a thing on Christmas Eve. The only mention of Jesus was in the dinner prayer. My family just shook their heads when we left to attend a candlelight service at a church. This was just borderline bizzare!! Is this the new thing? We normally don't spend Xmas with this side of the family.
