The one older (84) aunt, who really isn't an aunt but rather a grand sister inlaw, if there is such a thing is showing up tomorrow morning (saturday) at 10am to begin cooking for christmas eve and christmas day. Christmas eve will be a get together of 25-30 people, 22 of which will be family. Inlaws, grandfathers, aunts, etc will be sleeping over so everyone can watch Jack open his 1000 gifts from the grandparents...I mean Santa. The amount of food is out of control anyway and now that it is Christmas the amount of food just increases. Who puts red sauce on seafood anyway? Peas and macaroni...is that a joke? 7 fishes??? All I know is tuna, dolphin and marlin. I'm still trying to learn this italian thing.
