For heavens sake don't ask people for money though.....

I can imagine standing at the front door with my hand out for the money before they come in, I wonder what comments I would get?

I bet some wouldn't be very polite!

Not that I host Christmas dinners anymore these days, can't eat any of the fancy food so I don't buy it.
