GUESS WHO IS HOSTING CHRISTMAS DINNER THIS YEAR

Why yes, its me. Mom's back has been bothering her so she cannot host it, so Roger and I will be doing the honors. Yipee!!! I am very excited. I think we will officially break out our China, I am a bit scared tho' what if they break something I told Roger to get a head count of how many people are coming I just had to share

That is great!!!!! I hope we get pics of that also...lol.

Oh my Shamma what a job you have!!!

Isn't Roger's family ENORMOUS!!!!

Kysha, yes it is, but they are not all going to come. We had 54 for Thanksgiving We will be getting help tho' His sister will make fry rice and lo mein, I will make stew chicken and macaroni and cheese, Roger will make the potato salad and punch, mom will make oxtails and rice and peas. THe dessert will come from Juniors and BJ's and Tada, dinner is served We will have salad and egg nog and rolls and candied yams, mi favorito

Why yes Kathy I will capture every single moment for yall

Oh my lord! 54????? Im about to faint

Will you have 54 for Christmass also?

Well I told Roger to get a count, I don't think I could handle that at all

Gosh I don't blame you, I couldn't handle if I know that forsure!! Just found out I am hosting Christmas dinner here and I only have about 12 to 18 (not sure yet) and I am freakin out!! House isn't even fully done inside!

54

Holy Moly. Where did they all fit???


Have fun showing off your china

I don't even have 54 relatives!

I can't wait to break out our china - need a big house first though

Happy Cooking!

I'm sure everything is going to be beautiful and they'll all have a good time! enjoy We want a full report after the dinner!

You are one BRAVE woman!! Good Luck

Terri, if we waited for a house we would never have anyone over. Don't let life pass you by

I will not be doing all the cooking by myself. I have help. It should be fun.

I will report right after dinner.

Good for you, Shamma!

I am hosting Christmas Day for the first time too....I'm also hosting BOTH families for the first holiday altogether, so I have some (okay, ALOT) of nerves over this!

But, Jeff and I are also really excited to be 'breaking out' our fine china and sterling silver service for the occasion. I just wish we had a beautiful solid wood dining set, instead of the 7 ft. plastic folding tables that we currently have

Shamma, Please save me some oxtail. If yours is sooooo good, I could only imagine Mom's

We are doing the same thing Claud, we have to put the sterners on them so even if I had a nice oak table it would not be on it. You must take peekshures to share with us. How many people are you expecting?? Roger says it is up to me whether or not I want to use the fine China. I said no better time than the present. We can always find an excuse not to

Liz, if you come and get it that day I will save you a plate, not a problem I am off from work from the 24th until the 5th of January.

Teri, break them up in to sessions

can you imagine?! 'Ok folks, take that dinner to go, I have the next round of relatives to come in and chow down'

Yup that would be one funny scene, eat and run
