[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send the group an email ahead of time. “Looking forward to seeing you. Letting you know, there will be bread for toast, cereal and milk, coffee available for breakfast, sandwich fixings and chips for lunch, and we will make dinner Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Tuesday. The other 2 nights are up to you and your preferences.” Keep breakfast and lunch minimal and just focus on something cheap and easy the 2 nights that aren’t Christmas (chili and cornbread, lasagna or pizza, baked potato bar etc). Tell them UP FRONT they’re on their own for 2 dinners (a good guest will offer to take you out) and that if they want anything beyond what you’re providing for breakfast and lunch that’s on them too.

The benefit of sending this email is that they will immediately know you from your tone that you are dreading their arrival and likely cancel. [/quote]

Telling people they will responsible to feed themselves 2 out of 15 total meals doesn’t convey dread but ok. [/quote]

It would be better to tell people in the first day or two of the trip that they will be on their own for X lunch and Y dinner. The email posted above is crazy and weird. It would make normal people feel uncomfortable about visiting.[/quote]
