[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- it will be the three of us, his parents, his sister, possibly my sister and possibly his other sister and his brother - plus this family friend and her cousin. I don’t want to pay exorbitant Christmas hotel prices when I can just stay in my own home! [/quote]

So the cousin and friend your husband invited already booked tickets? But you don’t know if several other people are coming yet? Why not tell those that don’t have definite plans that your house is full and they’ll need to book a hotel? Why exclude the person that already made plans rather than telling the “possibly people” to go elsewhere? You don’t make any sense.[/quote]

This. It’s hard to imagine that one extra person is throwing you this far off balance. And no reason you have to cook for everyone. Just plan some times you’re all eating together and make simple meals. For the rest buy things they can make themselves l, especially for breakfast and lunch. Also buy paper products to reduce dishes. Keep your bedroom off limits to guests so you have a place to escape to.

I think it’s pretty crappy to invite someone and then after they book tickets to uninvited them. Even if they sleep in an air bnb they’re still going to be at your house from morning until night so it’s not like a big reprieve. [/quote]

In the OP she said it was their family plus this family friend. Then the friend asked to bring her sister and cousin, which is incredibly rude. So this friend was already the one extra person and now it's three extra. The part about already booking tickets could very well be to guilt OP. I think these extra guests knew they were pushing their luck for a free place. OP stated she has never met them.
