Or just spending it by yourselves?

*Heard it phrased like this on the radio!

We are going to host this year, between 12 - 17 of us 😬

Hosting.

26 on Christmas Day. 12 staying Christmas Eve and Christmas night.

Either 28 or 30 for Boxing Day. One relative and his new partner appear to still be hedging their bets on a better offer so are a maybe 🙄

Bloomin eck I don’t envy you! How many ovens do you have and how do you seat every one?

Guesting, but taking a lot of food for at least 12. I’m going to be flat out for a couple days before we leave (to stay), making mince pies, brandy butter and cheese straws - about a million pigs in blanket already in the freezer, 🎄puds already made, too.
