[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buffet style is fine as long as everyone comes back to sit together around the table and eat together. Buffet style where everyone just goes off and eats wherever after getting their food tends to lead to small exclusive groups eating together. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting together[/quote]

I mean, if your gathering is like 6-12 people, that’s great and you can usually make it work. If you think me hosting 30 “defeats the purpose” just because out of a 6+ hour gathering, people eat dinner in the dining room, kitchen and card tables set up in the living room and parlor, I don’t know what to tell you. I guess I should just tell half of my family—some of whom have been deployed in recent months—that we’re not inviting the full crew because eating in different rooms “defeats the purpose.”

And you know what? Six same-age cousins wanting to eat together and catch up IS an “exclusive group,” and that’s OK. Those of us who are mature and have confidence and self-awareness don’t feel threatened by a dynamic like that. [/quote]

Why do you feel so judged that you need to write multiple paragraphs about this? If you're happy, then just be happy.[/quote]
