Christmas is right around the corner and if your family is like mine, it's sure to be a weekend filled with big family gatherings where you are grilled about your love life and deprived of alcohol. And who better to encompass what Christmas with the family is like than Nick Miller.

1. When you first walk into the house to see all of your family members and the evening flashes before your eyes.

It's going to be a long night.

2. When your mom sees your face and tells you to be friendly.

Friendly is not a word in my vocabulary.

3. When you see a family member coming over to talk to you so you have to psych yourself up.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F636176138993828901-1258557987_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=296&h=40e14298c31bf4b7ad7bfeb704856e5dfbb4cf1d2c7678adc5634ea6579c6fe6&size=980x&c=462082313 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F636176138993828901-1258557987_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D296%26h%3D40e14298c31bf4b7ad7bfeb704856e5dfbb4cf1d2c7678adc5634ea6579c6fe6%26size%3D980x%26c%3D462082313%22%7D" expand=1]

Here we go.

4. When the first question you get asked is if you've found a boyfriend yet.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F6361761396427012681501809606_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=331&h=7511f4623d63c827711421ebf599a7bcf9c16b630aacf8e12a80e241e564d0d2&size=980x&c=1470863750 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F6361761396427012681501809606_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D331%26h%3D7511f4623d63c827711421ebf599a7bcf9c16b630aacf8e12a80e241e564d0d2%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1470863750%22%7D" expand=1]

The answer hasn't changed.

5. When the family starts talking politics at dinner.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F636176140246116330-451845330_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=747&h=a41fc4cf50ad893d8c561709e169f161760aa7faad20737755b9d93499b78373&size=980x&c=2168066781 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F636176140246116330-451845330_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D747%26h%3Da41fc4cf50ad893d8c561709e169f161760aa7faad20737755b9d93499b78373%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2168066781%22%7D" expand=1]

Make that 12 alcohols.

6. When dinner is over but you realize you still have to spend about five more hours here.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F636176140937569759-1021274167_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=734&h=92670c84ee441c9141d01ca2a641e4ea2031302d9ad1a16c67f50e6ca660106f&size=980x&c=4222677103 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F636176140937569759-1021274167_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D734%26h%3D92670c84ee441c9141d01ca2a641e4ea2031302d9ad1a16c67f50e6ca660106f%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4222677103%22%7D" expand=1]

WHEN WILL IT END?

7. When your grandmother starts asking you incredibly personal questions.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F6361761417836184661622494116_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=1013&h=65164670096603350a82bc15805f2cdadc3221df89010f8843a376e0fbb50608&size=980x&c=567935711 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F6361761417836184661622494116_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D1013%26h%3D65164670096603350a82bc15805f2cdadc3221df89010f8843a376e0fbb50608%26size%3D980x%26c%3D567935711%22%7D" expand=1]

Please don't ask me about my sex life grandma.

8. When your incredibly successful cousin starts talking about how much money they have.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F636176143368688179-1827314382_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=608&h=adaea8b341843d6134932e74a16a7ef3282d14571139b3ce4c4731d102347696&size=980x&c=4166887079 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F636176143368688179-1827314382_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D608%26h%3Dadaea8b341843d6134932e74a16a7ef3282d14571139b3ce4c4731d102347696%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4166887079%22%7D" expand=1]

*Has $2 in bank account.*

9. When you're saying goodbye and your family starts telling you that they love you and will miss you.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F636176144469868121350035493_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=358&h=36847658d06e8824e3d28dc614bea45580e62a55b5ff5a855db7aec81df56ef0&size=980x&c=3985084171 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F636176144469868121350035493_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D358%26h%3D36847658d06e8824e3d28dc614bea45580e62a55b5ff5a855db7aec81df56ef0%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3985084171%22%7D" expand=1]

Ew.

10. When you finally get home and realize you survived and that your family really isn't that bad.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F17%2F636176145526230732142291450_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=455&h=4fbfec4edd2fdb14d4545689efb4b811a1386013f3ac64100bc7bd7259083c94&size=980x&c=1281151245 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F17%252F636176145526230732142291450_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D455%26h%3D4fbfec4edd2fdb14d4545689efb4b811a1386013f3ac64100bc7bd7259083c94%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1281151245%22%7D" expand=1]

There's truly nothing like family during the holidays.
