Every year DP starts to get the digs in early about me failing in previous years to get a tree in good time and/or putting it up "far too late". In my family an artificial tree went up on christmas eve or the day before, so I feel getting a real tree the weekend before Christmas is fine, and time/effort enough. This year after a fortnight of snide remarks I said: "I am done - get it yourself".
For food, usually DP shops for it and I cook. Usually for 11 people in aggregate between the 25th & 26th. DP will buy spuds for 6-8 and then wonder why the portions are mean.
This year DP has gone one better. there are allergies in the family so we need a plain turkey crown. I've just taken it out to start cooking, and DP has bought a turkey stuffed with the exact allergens certain family members can't eat. There is no point in cooking it.
I will cook some alternative food today, which at least everyone can eat without an allergic reaction. But I am not impressed. I've managed to make a very nice Christmas roast every year, even when we've had newborns in the house, and this year DP has scotched it before I even started.
I have ordered an artificial tree and told DP that in future years they can put it up whenever they bloody like, but I am done being ragged about it.
Bah, Humbug.
AIBU?
