Good 'Christmastime' food (and drink grin) could definitely make the end of the year feel special. wine

It makes our year and our staffs year also because there’s £200 behind the bar for the staff every year at the dinner.

Christmas for me is a time of year when a great number of people have time off work and so it's easier to organise gatherings with loved ones and friends. And if we can share good food and a few hugs, singing and a few games and some catching with one another's life, even better heart beating

I could imagine...Everyone seems to be dining out more at Christmastime, especially when there are staff luncheons and staff dinners to be had.

I'll see my kids and grandkids in England in November this year then go to my Mum's in France in December. My bros and sis and offsprings will visit and I'll probably cook for everyone ... My Mum is also turning 90 just after Christmas...

Yes didi. When you work in the restaurant/ catering /takeaway industry everyone has been saving up their money to splash out at Xmas so our business rakes in the money at this time.

That may be so Karl, but I think more people get excited about Christmas than they do about Halloween and Thanksgiving. Not everybody is interested in Halloween, besides. Some have even started their Christmas planning and preparations already, even though it's way after those first 2 holidays you mentioned.

What's to "afford" JT? Good food, family, and fun don't cost that much. confused

You seem to be a good cook, so I'm sure you could prepare Christmas 'fare' on a budget.grin
