A mother has defended charging her family £150 each for Christmas Day dinner. Blogger Carla Bellucci admitted she will make a £400 profit for charging 15 members of her family £150 as she cooks up a festive feast for Christmas Day. Ms Bellucci revealed this is the first year she will charge her family for Christmas dinner. Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Thursday (21 December), she defended her decision and said: “Something has to change. Times are and you have got to make cutbacks.” Ms Bellucci’s menu includes champagne, smoked salmon, caviar and turkey.
Meg couldn’t give a shit.
If they are expected to host and money is tight why not. Family can just not go.
Maybe don’t serve champagne, smoked salmon and caviar if money is tight.
Or you cut the menu down. Like fast and the furious, it’s about family.
I really doubt the caviar is a family tradition that absolutely needs to stay or the whole meal is ruined. 15 people is a lot but I could 100% do a meal for them on a quarter of the budget. Even less if they were close enough to bring food.
I thought this is how everyone did it…the host makes the turkey and main fixings, everyone else brings desserts and appetizers. Someone doesn’t know how to delegate…
“Ever since great Great Aunt Boris brought her bear to Christmas, with freshly caught, sturgeon and smoked salmon still between it’s teeth, which we really don’t know how the bear smoked, we’ve had smoked salmon and caviar for Christmas dinner.”
That’s up to them. Doesn’t affect me.
