Merry Christmas! Your in-laws are here, and now you want to hide. I don't have any of those because that's a perk of being single (#whosjealousofwhonow?), but I've consulted some experts who I will maybe leave anonymous. 

Nah, I'm kidding. I'm a journalism B.A. (badass) grad, so I always protect my sources. But, if that eggnog just isn't strong enough to numb the procreators of your dearly beloved, here's where our staff recommends seeking shelter.

  • Pinball Jones or Social

    Yep. Hidin' up the Poudre.

    - That sounds so wrong.

  • Downtown Windsor

    No one will be there during the holidays.

    Seriously, it's like an old western movie at high noon.

    They're open a lot of holiday eves.

    It's an easy out. "Oh no! The automation system crashed... gotta go!"
