OMG ..... 20 grand kids, @cranky_granny! That will be INCREDIBLE - I hope you are up to it!! Send them a list - the sooner the better ... I did that when my brother's daughter, husband & child came over from the UK and my siblings & partners & kids all joined us too, to catch up with them. One brought the ham, one brought the booze, one brought the prawns & meat, the other the Xmas Cake/pudding & extras - I supplied the breakfast stuff, veges, bickies etc and accommodation!
We did a lot of picnics, so there wasn't a lot of 'in house dining' other than breakfast. Even the evening meal - it is daylight til after 8pm - so BBQ at the beach/river was very handy (or anywhere) specially as it is sure to be hot ....
All the best - it is all about delegating - and make sure they know who does the washing up too!! ;)
We actually do a picnic on Xmas Day as well - and put the kayaks in for a fish!! The water is usually empty of craft on Xmas Day - but watch out on Boxing Day! All the idiots are out doing donuts! grrr
@Afraser - the Sweet Chilli Pesto Pizza could be a 'goer'? Also the quinoa salad & Sweet Potato Feta & Cauli Rice? Do you eat fish at all (a vegequarian?) there are some fishy bits there too!!
