I grew up with and continue a tradition of Christmas 'starting' with a festive high tea/early supper on Christmas Eve, with lunch on C Eve a help-yourself scratch affair. Suddenly realise that this year we will be ten, not all staying in the house. Can't be doing with ten people hunting around, making themselves sandwiches or scrambled eggs, devouring all the satsumas.... Loud resistance to altering the supper scenario, so am looking to invent a new lunch tradition. How do others get round this?
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
