Christmas day dinners, inside or outside?
For your christmas dinners, are they indoors or outdoors?
My family has ours outdoors. Well not entirely, but close. My uncle has a 5 car garage and we have all the food in there and there are tables set up, but there is not nearly enough chairs inside the garage for the 100+ family members that will be there. So most people just eat wherever they can find. The older folks sit inside at the table and the younger people are left to fend for themselves. Nobody even goes inside my uncles house, because you have to make a trail through there because its so dirty. That and he has dogs that bite in his back yard. One thing about here is that we can have them outdoors, because its usually in between 40-60 degrees and we rarely see snow here.

Me I just drive around looking for big family dinners like your going to have. When there is like 50 or more people they have no idea I am not actually part of the family. I get the ”Hey, your Joe right?” yep, or ”Hey, your Judy’s son right?” yep, or ”Hey, good to see you Dave…” Good to see you too… 
Nothing like eating for free on someone else’s dime…

I am sure there will be several people there that other people don't know. Girlfriends, boyfriends, other friends. Many of my family still have never met my fiance. I still have a hard time remembering some of their names, and I have known them all my life. My mom has 8 sisters and 4 brothers, they all live here in the same area and I can't name them all right off the bat, I have to think about it to get everyone of them. Don't even ask to name everyone's kids.
