I just remembered about my one aunt's who was a exstream neat freak. When it was her turn to host the holidays she would cover everything with plastic, the carpet, table cloth with plastic, chair cushions, plastic under the tables, the beds had plastic on them, couches and chairs. Us kids would have to eat in the basement and of course she had plastic on and under the tables. If we spilled anything in the basement all of us got one heck of a spanking for spilling on the plastic. I just hated going over there for any holiday.
