[quote=Anonymous]We are the invaders at my SILs every Christmas -- invited, but still. We're there for 6 nights. It's a lot.

The first night, SIL usually does pasta with pesto and sausages (she made a ton of pesto over the summer and froze it in dinner-size portions).

Second night, I buy all ingredients to cook a meal they will like (and they are PICKY).

Third night, take out. We split the bill.

Fourth night is Christmas Eve -- we have a huge party and everyone contributes something.

Fifth night, Christmas Day -- dinner at a siblings house. We bring cookies and appetizers.

Sixth and last night, we take them out for dinner to thank them for hosting us.

Doesn't always work out this way, but that's the usual pattern.

Breakfasts and lunches are entirely on the individual. DW and I don't really eat breakfast, and we're usually out at lunchtime so we take care of ourselves -- cheese and crackers and fruit.

I would never expect SIL to prepare 3 meals a day. That's just nuts. No one needs three meals a day, to begin with. And if she did, she'd never leave the kitchen.[/quote]
