Dear Miss Know it all,

My boyfriend hasn’t met any of my family. He’ll be in town for the holidays and I want him to come over for Christmas. I’m afraid my Grandpa will ask him about his intentions. I’m freaking.

Dear Freaking,

Its a grandfather’s job to ask about intentions. Warn your boyfriend that some of the questions could get uncomfortable for him and to be prepared. If he’s really cool he’ll smile and take it in stride. If he freaks out and you freak out, you have a problemo, honey. Just be cool. Remember, you can choose your friends, but not your relatives. We all have some wack job relatives that will ask the craziest questions, just blow it off and have fun.

Mz. Know it All,

My parents are divorced. We have to divide our time at the holiday with both of them or they get mad at us. How can we get them to see that they are acting like kids? The Adult

Dear Adult,

Parents can act like kids and kids can act like adults. Some adults never grow up. It sounds like they both love you and want to be with you on the holiday. Instead of dividing the day in two, tell them you’ll spend Christmas eve with one and Christmas day with the other. And they will just have to adjust to your plans this year. Good luck, honey!

Hi!

I have to bring a side dish for Christmas and I don’t have a clue of what to bring. Thx.

Dear Thx,

Google holiday side dishes and you’ll find kabillions to choose from. You might want to ask the hostess what she’s serving so you have an idea of what will go along with her dinner. Or ask the hostess what she wants you to bring.

Dear Ms knowitall,

What are some ideas to put into my boyfriend’s Christmas stocking?

Candy! Everyone loves candy. Gift cards, tickets to his favorite sports team or concert, lottery tickets, silly toys, his favorite cologne, personal grooming items and MORE candy.

What’s a hostess gift?

A hostess gift is a gift you bring to the house of a person hosting a party. It can be a box of candy, a bottle of wine, a holiday ornament, something home baked. Just a little trinket to say thank you for inviting us to your home. 🙂

My Mom is Old, what to get for Christmas?

Dear Ms Know It All,

My mom is old, like in her 40’s.  What do you think she’d like for Christmas?

The Kid

Dear Kid,

She’d like you to stop calling her old.

Dear MKIT,

What should I get my boyfriend for Xmas?  We’ve been talking since summer. He likes nascar stuff and I’m kind of broke.

Clueless

Dear Clueless,

How broke are you?  Too broke to buy anything? If you are too broke to buy anything, bake him some cookies.  Everyone loves home made cookies  and he’ll think you are so cool that you did it all by your big self.   If you only have a little amount of money,  buy him a little toy car of his favorite driver.

Hi,

I want an Iphone for Christmas, how do I get one?

Chatterbox

Dear Chatterbox,

I want one, too but I will never be able to convince anyone to buy me one and pick up the monthly fees.   So, your best option is to get a job and pay for it yourself.  If that’s isn’t feasable, then you are doing without, like me.   Trust me, you’ll survive.

Hello,

How do I get my boyfriend to know I want him to buy me an engagement ring for Christmas?

Single

Dear Single,

He already knows. What you really need is for him to WANT to buy you an engagement ring. Whether he does it is entirely up to him.  He has to want it himself.   If you’ve dropped hints, he knows.  Its out of your hands.
