<human>: Every holiday my husband and I drive 9 hours to visit my parents, and we usually spend most of the time hanging around the house being bored. They live in a rural area in Appalachia where there's VERY little to do on a normal day, but of course at Christmas everything is closed. The weather is usually gross, we have no friends in the area, and since I'm an only child the only other family is Grandma, who is not the most pleasant person to be around. The closest cities with anything worth doing are 2 hours away, but my dad is the outdoorsy type who doesn't really like cities, especially crowds. So basically I have no idea what we could do as a family for fun. Board games happen sometimes, but dad usually isn't interested and won't play. Even watching movies is difficult because my dad is very old-fashioned and easily offended by bad language and sex.

It's really starting to affect my relationship with my parents because we don't have much in common except food and beverages; as a result I end up rarely going home to see them and we can't stay for more than 2 days without losing our minds (even sometimes that's cutting it close). My dad has never been the easiest person to get along with, but he's really starting to turn into a grumpy old man. I used to have a much closer relationship with my parents, and it makes me very sad to think about how things have become. I don't want to feel like going to home for Christmas is a chore. What can I do?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Christmas in the middle of nowhere; everything is closed; dad is a poop; what can we do as a family to bond/pass the time?
