So, do I dare ask how or why there are people that you don't know coming to your house on Christmas day? I've had that happen in my last life once or twice, although that was a Christmas party that we hosted when my wife worked for westjet. Bunch of those airplane types all over the house. Some of them didn't even know who I was. We stopped being large party hosts.
Not my place. My daughter and my Ex trade off hosting Christmas and Thanksgiving, so they invite who they want. It's not usually who I want.
And that's fine, their home, their dinner, their party. Those days, Easter, Super Bowl Sunday, maybe a few others, no one is out on the trails, no one is out anywhere, it's glorious.
