Tesco Christmas adverts this year have been on the theme of "because that's what we always do at Christmas". Buying a bag of nuts no one likes, playing Monopoly even though everyone falls out, but you do it every year anyway
In so many cases having very little to do with most of your family is the quick way to improve your happiness.
It's fine to walk away from people who you have nothing in common with, even if you're related to them somehow, whatever it says in The Times

Today is the 12th anniversary of my mother in law's sudden and entirely preventable death.
Today is also the day when I had to pay to receive a Christmas card from my father in law, because he didn't pay enough postage on it.

One of our local pubs has taken to using AI to create its adverts for social media. A recent "watch the Forest game" creation had Nottingham spelled wrong and the Liverpool badge on it.
That pub is 8.1 miles from the City Ground according to Google Maps.

There are massive accounts on BlueSky who post "on Twitter we'd get tons of engagement with every post but most of it was bots, we get 20% of that here but it's real people".
