An Essential Difference Between The Sexes

[poliphilo]

The matriarchs have consulted together and the big family Christmas do- which we were supposed to be hosting- has been called off-  because of snow- which means we have rather a lot of potato hash to eat.

Oh- and (cheerful thought) rather a lot of wine to drink.
 
Here's a major difference between men and women. Women love these affairs- with finger food being passed around and the generations tolerating one another and grandma sat in the corner receiving homage- and men detest them. At least, that's the case in our family. How about yours?

As a woman I don't love them. I was monumentally stressed by having 24 people in our house the Sunday before Christmas for my father n law's 80th birthday. But they do hold families together and that's why I did it. That and the fact that the Auld Fella said he's never had a birthday party before and we don't know how long we are going to have him with us.

Glad it is over though. Much more fun in the summer when you can get the barbie going and rustle up some robust salads to go with the meat.

That was a noble deed you did.

Improvised parties are much more fun than ones that have to be planned for.
