Well thanks to the rules set by my mum ,we manage to have a great day & share the load !
The host family supply the roast turkey & vegetables , someone brings ham (it was my dads job ) my aunt brings cooked chickens ,sister in-law the pudding , my cousin brings the prawns , my daughter in-law brought a salad for dinner as did my niece .My 53yr old cousin struggles to bring anything we ask her too !! If she brings a salad , she brings all the ingredients (not put together) then says I'm not staying for dinner the stuff is in the fridge !! :# This year we requested bread ,even that was too hard ,we ended up with supermarket bread & cook at home rolls ! Of course I always do more dips ,nibblies & desserts , but I like to do that .
The MEN always do the washing up ,after lunch & dinner , this year my eldest son washed the dishes in the evening , ( I nearly fainted !)
After dinner my sister in-law organized playing celebrity head for a bit of a laugh , I had saved the Woolworths tree & decorations for everyone to put together , eldest son rolled his eyes & said are you for real ? This whole episode had me in stiches as each person got 2 decorations to make & they found it a lot harder than they thought . Funny to look over and seeing Justin focusing very intently on his decoration ! Who would've thought !!:o Each year my sister in-law & I take it in turns, since my mum passed away however now some of the kids have their own homes we may try to pass it on ! (don't like my chances )
This works for us & we all enjoy the day .
