Notes for the next Christmas we host

[cimorene]

Our Christmas feast was really fun but very tiring! In future we should think about:

• Less food. It's all very well to say that leftovers are good, but we had too much food to fit in the fridge, or in the enormous table, and we then ran out of Tupperware when it was time to send leftovers home.


• Way less glögg. People brought (and left) two bottles of berry glögg but we already had more than enough of the delicious local gourmet apple glögg.


• I guess the people who ate ham would call it a success, but the ham was so much work considering how few people ate any.


• A bunch of effort went into trying to duplicate MIL's favored fancy salad (my idea), but it didn't come out that much better than regular salad and the effort wasn't worth it. Way too much leftover salad too.


• We didn't even remember the fudge until we were packing leftovers. At least we were still able to get rid of most of it.
