Family togetherness crap

Everyone's family is different. Some are stranger than others, and in my family there is a very little sense of normalcy. We are just an odd bunch of people. But us oddballs have a few things that bring us together. Friday night dinners at grandmas hows has always been going on. Thanksgiving movies, chinese food on christmas, are just two other things that unite us. But the main thing is Hockey. My parents were Islanders fans during the Stanley Cup years, and in the late 80's to early 90's, they lost touch with their inner Ice. However, us kids rediscovered the passion for this wonderful sport and took our parents right back into it. Now, hockey is a topic of conversation. We have season tickets now, and when the islanders are away, you can find us all in the TV room watching professionals putting the biscuit in the basket. When describing how our family bonds, my mother tells people that it is "family togetherness crap."
