At a loose end for Christmas dinner?

    We've room for two or three more at ours. No hidden agendas just too much turkey, two huge hams, spiced beef and we couldn't see anyone out on their own this Christmas. It just wouldn't do. Now the dog might bark at you, my cousin may talk at length about economics and my auntie might get drunk and try to lob the gob on you but I assure you we're all fairly sound :) You might have to sit through an awks Skype session with my brother and sister in law who like totes swanned off to Argentina for like a month on honeymoon but we'll make sure you're fed and leave happy (either happy to be leaving or happy because you had a great time #winwin). If you know of anyone old or young (now that's not an excuse to get rid of your selection boxed up kids or anything) that's at a loose end around Cork City(ish) tell them to PM me before 1.30pm and I'll give them directions or arrange to pick them up from town. No need to be shy as we'll all be going to yours next year ;) We promise we won't forget the croquettes too.

    It's a lovely gesture though,the most valuable thing you can give another person is your time.

    You're a legend OP - this sort of stuff is what I love about Christmas; the way it brings out such lovely goodness in people.
    Of course you're not doing it for the kudos for feck sake - posting an invite to Boards is an ideal thing to do; it's also what's great about Boards!

    A very happy Christmas to all! :D xx

    As much as I'd like to, and believe me I would like to, I fear execution if I were to forgo the traditional family humiliation.

    I appreciate your kind offer though, thank you!!

    Sounds like a good place to have a happy Xmas dinner. Fair play.

    All skit aside - its a humbling gesture on your behalf and sets a high bar

    F.F. to you, regards and the best for 2014 (in the football and the hurling!)
