Vicki
For some reason I'm not allowed to post answers under another person's blog. Saturday would work best for us on the Christmas gathering or gig for short. On Sunday the weather will be a bit rough. Snow accumulations will be in the nine to twelve inch range. That makes it great for the kids playing in the white stuff but the drive home excitement is for the under fifty crowd. Both Jane and I miss this mark by a year or two. If the majority prefer Sunday I will bring the tire chains and we'll enjoy the day. What to eat is another non-definitive. Do whatever makes it easier for the "homers." I like the idea of dishes supplied by the "gatherers" without a main meat dish. Maybe you could put out suggestions out on the blog and have replies returned to your own e-mail by a certain date. As the suggested menu groups are filled you could delete them from the offered choices. If needed you could be like a menu policeperson and where duplicates are not wanted you could do a return e-mail. I've noticed that sometimes when someone is busy directives come across as a bit rough. It might help to be gentle like, "I love your "poured out of a can baked beans" but we already have three people bringing "their special recipe" baked beans. Pasta dishes are well received and we could use a few more of these. Instead of boiling pasta and pouring sauce over it you might want to pull a recipe off the Internet and try to spice it up. As you can see this is the "better way." Vicki, I've noticed the word "you" has been used several times. I'm sure everyone feels the same as I and appreciate all of your voluntary work for this gig but with everything else you have done and are still doing are you sure you want to do all of this. I can help. If you will post what dish choices you think will work, I'll do the policing. With my gentle way with words the Christmas spirit in everyone will certainly be exposed. For the menu I'll offer to make rolls and an oyster dish. I've already e-mailed my contributions to another of my addresses so I won't forget. Once I figure out where I mailed it to I'll be okay, I think.
