Making your family pay for Christmas dinner is strange - it’s hardly in the Christmas spirit.
Christmas is a time for goodwill and cheer, but charging your loved ones for a turkey roast screams ‘Grinch.’I was shocked to learn that over a quarter of Brits would ask guests to contribute to the cost of the festive meal.Nationally, the average charge is £17 per head, climbing to £19.80 in London and a whopping £27 in Scotland.It’s hard to believe a roast costs that much to make.
What ever happened to Aunt Bessies and a bit of Bisto?Yes, the cost-of-living crisis is real and many are feeling the pinch, but hosting shouldn’t mean handing out invoices.If a big turkey roast is unaffordable, there are plenty of ways to trim the costs without putting a price tag on family time.Cheaper meat options or cutting back on gifts are perfectly reasonable compromises that don’t drain the festive cheer.
