Deligate- Become a General in Charge and give everyone a job. That's how Marks parents planned their Christmas when everyone turned up and one year that was 12 adults 11 grandchildren sitting down to dinner.
The veg was put out to tender- potatoes and brussels. The Turkey bones out by Mark or his sister depending on who was around. Table was laid and washed up by others and puddings and cakes made by different people. Even the kids were involved folding napkins and getting the party games ready.
Yes, don't miss those days but they were fun at the time, even when Marks ex-brother-in-law who'd have his annual bust up with his mother-in-law/wife/children or even himself by arriving and promptly leaving again. If he did stay it was because he had already tanked himself up and and had fallen asleep, where the children would dress him- see Pickles after a day with her neice.......................
The trip we are taking is all deligated already.
