Ah, the holiday season – a time for family, love, and… Pepsi-induced meltdowns? One woman (f20s) is hosting Christmas this year with her husband (m20s).

Fast forward to a recent visit to her mom’s house, and a forgotten task leads to a heated exchange over some Pepsi bottles. Now, our hostess is refusing to invite Tom to Christmas unless he apologizes. But is she being too petty? Let’s dive into the story!
