[quote=Anonymous]I have hosted Christmas the last 5 years in a row.  I would get some help but I did the bulk of the cooking.  We talked about Christmas at a family gathering in July.  I explained that I really did not want to host this year and wanted a break from cooking.  My family went on especially my brother about how it was a tradition to have the holiday at my house and they would all help with the cooking.  They were like just tell us what to bring and we will bring it.  This was discussed in front of everyone and they shook their head yes they would each bring a dish.   I started coordinating everything this week.  I meant it when I said I did not want to cook.  I am making the mashed potatoes and making my house available.  That's it.  I made a facebook invite and I went and assigned dishes for everyone to bring.  Almost everyone was so positive and saying how much they were looking forward to xmas.  I got a message from my SIL.

She wrote [quote]  You have hosted very formal Christmas dinners in the past and I have always enjoyed them.  I am sad you decided to host this informal potluck Christmas.  If I were hosting I would still make the core dinner items such as the ham, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc.  You are still hosting the event and I don't think it's in very good taste to ask your guests to bring the main courses.[/quote]

How do I respond to this?!  I am livid right now!![/quote]
