We got our album last week, and we're spending Christmas Eve with H's family. Would it be weird of me to bring it along?
Normally, I'd think it was fine, but BIL and his new wife brought their album to a kid's birthday party, and it rubbed lots of people the wrong way. That may have less to do with the presence of the album and more to do with how they presented it. I have no intention of walking in the door, shoving the album at someone and ordering them to look at it.
If we do bring it, I'll keep it in its box until someone asks to see it. It will then go back in its box, and I may freak out if someone tries to touch it while eating. It was a very generous gift from my parents, and H and I cannot afford to replace it.
What would you do?
