PiL have decided they want to come over for Christmas this year, probably staying for around 5 days. Despite saying in previous years that we couldn't invite my parents for Xmas dinner because we don't have enough space, dh thinks we now magically have the space to host his parents for 2 Christmas meals and have them to stay for the best part of a week .
Anyway, has anyone done this and not had it turn out to be a complete nightmare? If we moved furniture around we could create a temporary space of around 7'x7' in the living room (but only if we didn't have a Xmas tree!). We would also need to borrow a table. Dh reckons we can eat all other meals in rounds - so 3 people at a time - sitting at the kitchen table.
We would also need to fit 2 adults, a baby and a toddler into a small double bedroom.
I obviously can't say no to it all or I'll be The Bitch DiL, so please help me dread it less!
