Bored Game
Briefly

In navigating the complexities of holiday gatherings, we face not just the challenges of traffic, but the nuances of social interaction, making every meal an elaborate game.
The holiday meal transcends mere sustenance; it becomes a battleground of expectations, awkward conversations, and unspoken family dynamics that add layers of complexity.
As we carve the turkey or pour the gravy, each action at the table can either deepen connections or magnify the tensions that lie beneath the surface.
Ultimately, the festive season serves as a reminder that even in the chaos, there is potential for joy, reflection, and perhaps even reconciliation among loved ones.
