Nobody in my family has ever missed a holiday because of incarceration, and this reminds me that I do not come from a white-trash background.

Thats why I have a DD for the x-mas parties!!!!!

Sounds like one of the many responses to, "You might be a redneck if..." Of course, if they get out and stop by for brunch you could annoy them with comments like, "Hey, Bubba, what kind of a bird can't fly?"

This happened to my cousin on my dad's side of the family. He was considered to be a trouble-maker in school and had run-ins with the law. Most of the time, he was in jail during Thanksgiving and Christmas. When he spent time with us, he would always have some cheesy tattoo on his arm and a cigarette dangling from his mouth to make himself "look cool."
