Arrr, a lass of thirty-five, a mother o' two, be demandin' doubloons fer Christmas feast this year! A fancy etiquette swab said it might rub the crew the wrong way, savvy? Yarr, what’s next? A toll fer holiday cheer? Blimey!
Arrr matey! Gather 'round fer a tale of a feisty lass named Abi Richards from Hampshire, England, who be hostin' Christmas dinner yet again, but with a twist that’ll make ye belly laugh! This year, she be chargi’n her family near $32 each to feast like kings over three days—Christmas Eve, Christmas, and Boxing Day!Now, Abi, savvy in her ways, be spen'in nearly $300 on grub fer 10 hearty souls. Roast turkey, festive buffets, and all the trimmings be on the menu, and she’s done the math like a true pirate calculatin’ treasure! She says it be easier this way, so no landlubbers need worry ’bout bringin’ nothin'. Some of her kin be cheerin’ her on, while others scowl like they’ve bitten into a lemon, callin’ it downright “disgustin’.”
Etiquette expert Diane Gottsman warns that it may seem a tad off to charge family like they be at a tavern. But Abi, bless her heart, declares it works for her crew! She be sayin’ it’s not fer everyone, but if they be wantin’ to eat like sea gods, they’ll pay the piper. Aye, Christmas dinner may be a jolly affair, but with gold exchanged, it be a whole different tale on the high seas of family! Arrr!
