Christmas was great this year because someone finally put old Chris in his place for being so unfriendly and aloof to everyone during Holiday Celebrations.
Chris is a handsome super successful Attorney who is just brimming with ego and self importance. He is a partner at one of the leading law firms in NYC. I give him credit for his career success.
The trouble is he is unable to deal with the blue collar working class regular folks in his wife's family. He comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas and acts better than us and carries himself like he is royalty and we are a bunch of white trash.
Finally one of my cousins, Jerry, after a few too many beers did a great job at putting old Chris, the high flying attorney in his place.
JERRY: So Chris, what do you think of Donald Trump? (Everyone in the room looks at both of them to see what will happen.)
CHRIS: (Rolls his eyes and turns away and acts like he did not hear Jerry.
JERRY: Chris, we are still waiting for your answer!
CHRIS: (Rolls his eyes and gives Jerry a smirk and a disapproving look.)
JERRY: So, Chris you are too good to talk to us about current events?
CHRIS: (More eye rolling)
JERRY: Unloads on him and eventually Chris storms out of the house without his wife.
So, did Chris owe Jerry and the rest of us any answer to the Donald Trump question? Who was right and wrong in this situation?

Wow Jerry sounds like a real jerk. Why would he go off on this guy like that just because he rolled his eyes?
Sounds like Chris has more class than the rest of the bunch. No this is not ok
So the aloof snob who acts like he is better than everyone else is the winner in your eyes?
I disagree! If he plans to be part of the family he needs to communicate with us outside of huffing and puffing and silence.
After Chris stormed out everyone clapped and said that it was great that someone put that snob in his place!
rolling your eyes doesn't equal "aloof snob".
Asking about Politics isn't probably the wisest idea, especially if you aren't totally comfortable with someone. Hence the rolling of the eyes, most of us avoid that topic. But it's fine. I guess he didn't understand the subtle clue
Sounds like he was baited and no matter what he did, he would've been called names. Or in this case, clapped at because of the built up hostility towards him
Sounds like your family acts like a bunch of trailer trash.
It's no one else's business what his political opinions are. If I were to say I support Donald Trump, which I do, the people around me would have a meltdown.
The lawyer (Chris) had played the Don Draper executive role for the longest time and everytime he would leave nearly everyone said how much of a snob he was. His response to Jerry was the straw that broke the camels back.
