We had about 25 guests for Christmas dinner. We hosted the orphan dinner. It was a success, and we're considering hosting it next year too. We'd intended for most of the 'festivities' to take place outside in the back yard, but it was just too cold. I think almost everyone found a place to sit. I cooked a 20 lb turkey and a 9 lb. ham, a couple of pies, and the stuffing. Eric made his favorite cranberry relish, wassail (a hot spiced wine beverage) and did a ton of yard work. Everyone else brought everything else. Our friend Debbie came over early and made the whole thing much easier - she came early and ready to pitch in, exactly when I needed someone to pitch in.
