I'm slated to host Christmas Eve at my home again, and last year it was fun… except for one uncle ruined it with snarky comments and flat-out negativity. He bitched about the food, the tackiness of the decorations, and the gifts people gave.

At the time, I was more concerned about hosting duties and making sure my family was having a good time, so I just tried to roll with it. Nobody in the family had the guts to say anything, except to talk about it after he left.

This year though… fuck that, I don't want any of that shit in my house.

How do I keep his horrible attitude in line in my own home? My initial response to myself is "just tell him to shut the fuck up" but I know that would cause more trouble than what that's worth.
