We are FINALLY getting the renovation of our South of France completed. It has taken five long, painful years! We also have our 15th wedding anniversary in December. So, I suggested to DH, why not have a nice winter BBQ around 17th or 18th of December?
OH thinks it is a very bad idea and we should wait till summer. I think it is brilliant because-
*The people who come will be ones who want to celebrate with us, and not just looking for a free holiday (as will probably be the case in summer)
- It can get very cold, but people will be expecting the worst weather-wise (it can get down to minus 7), so any sunshine can only be a bonus. Unlike summer where people are expecting sun and may instead get rain on the planned day.
*There is something very naughty and celebratory about a winter BBQ, and frankly after a few glasses of wine, how cold will people feel in any case?
We would be inviting 50 or so guests, around 35 would be from overseas. The celebration will cost us a fair bit, so really want to make it a success!
AIBU and just plain mad to consider an outdoor BBQ in winter?
