Following on from that thread last year where I said I unashamedly go all out on Christmas lunch, here's a photo.
It ended up being 17 people. There were close family, a few local strays, the French couple staying upstairs in our Airbnb flat above my wife's studio, their friends from Paris who also stayed with us and now live in Sydney, and a Ukrainian family of three who stayed with us last year and now live nearby.
My mother left at about 4pm, but nobody else looked like leaving. I knew we were in for a long one when the musical instruments came out. The lunch went for so long my wife snuck off and had a sleep for an hour and I ended up getting out the lunch leftovers because we got hungry as evening approached.
