Univited guests for Christmas.

Have been brooding about this since yesterday. Received a Christmas card from this family we met on holiday in the summer. All very nice I am sure but note at the bottom thanking us for our kind invite for Christmas and saying they will be arriving 23rd Dec and staying until 2nd Jan.

We did not invite them!

Back story is Dad, Mum and three children at the same campsite we were staying on in the summer who decided they wanted to be best friends with us. We were polite and chatted but no more. They wanted to go round in a gang in the day which we told them didn't work for us. We wanted quiet quality time as a family, enjoying each other's company. Our two children were not keen on their three which was the decider for us. They then suggested meeting up and having dinner with us every night so we did a couple of times to keep the peace. Said our goodbyes (with a sigh of relief) at the end of the holiday and we know did not exchange addresses.

Two weeks later postcard arrives from them saying lovely it was to meet us and would love to see us again. No address so obviously no response from us. Several letters and cards since in similar vein then the Christmas card yesterday. We don't want them and have no room for them. My DPs are staying over Christmas and there is no way we can change plans and go to them.

Help, what shall we do?

Wishy just read entire thread and I'm feeling pessimistic. Also shamelessly placemarking.

It had so much potential...

ImperialBlether · 06/12/2015 21:24

OP, have you just been making up rubbish for the whole thread? If so, why?

ElizabethLemon · 06/12/2015 21:27

What a stupid thread.

Not sure what to make of this. My first thought was a Janet and Roy, but it seems to have gotten a bit ridiculous.

Groovee · 06/12/2015 21:33

How odd, but I would say it's your DP

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 06/12/2015 21:35
Hmm
Excited101 · 06/12/2015 21:36

Im interested why you aren't answering whether FIL knew their names or not, or if you've contacted the campsite to find out if they handed your address out...

DotForShort · 06/12/2015 21:42

O.K. It all makes perfect sense now. Xmas Hmm

Pennybun4 · 06/12/2015 21:44

Because I don't know if my FIL knows their names! Like I am gong to ask him, duh.

Place marking - I don't care if it's made up i'm entertained! It's like Bridget Jones's diary 10 years later if Mr Darcy had survived

Mincedpie · 06/12/2015 21:46

Poor you op

Pennybun4 · 06/12/2015 21:48

Oh fuck outed, I am Bridget Jones. And I am finishing up a naice bottle of Chardonnay and can't be arsed to cotact the campsite tonight.

I would say it's your DH to.

So confused...

AndNowItsSeven · 06/12/2015 21:55

Of course this thread is true, and you have most discerning two year old ever.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 06/12/2015 21:55

Are you the same person who last Christmas wrote a thread about how you'd received a booking confirmation for a Xmas meal in a local restaurant. It said the deposit had been paid. But the OP said she hadn't paid a deposit and didn't know who would have booked it anonymously in her name.

Does anyone know how that thread ended? Everyone was suggesting who might have done it and why and wondering if the OP would pay the balance herself and go to the meal.

Seemed so unbelievable that I gave up trying to keep up with it. Or maybe it just went "poof", I can't remember. This one has many similarities.

Pennybun4 · 06/12/2015 21:55

If it is my DP his bollocks will be cooked up in the gravy for Christmas dinner

No Curly, hadn't joined MN at that stage. Now that sounds even more spooky.

Stellar67 · 06/12/2015 22:00

curly that was a weird thread. I wonder what happened now too? It wasn't that long ago. I guess we've still to wait for them to get their dinner that they essentially had to pay for?
