Bit of a follow on from my comment about Trews MIL.
Why is it we always think Christmas is going to be quiet and nice etc, then at the last minute we have to fit in some relative or another who, we feel sorry for and has no place to go?
I do it every year and it drives my husband and son senseless, its like......why did you have to invite them? of all people?
Personally I like to do open house at Christmas, a few sherries and I don't care who turns up, my Turkey always seems to stretch.
This year, after years of various vagrant relatives coming, we thought, or....the men thought they might have me to themselves for a change, but no! I have just invited husbands brother who is off sick and has just been dumped(not surprisingly) by his lady friend. It has caused several rows:giggle: 'Tough, I am cooking':giggle:
