Having worked at a homeless shelter for families with children, I found it surprising that all of them had invitations to go elsewhere for Christmas Day, consistently. Same with Thanksgiving. We always cooked a turkey for them with stuffing and gravy, but It always had to be put away with no one to eat it.
And I will not be inviting anyone at all to Christmas Day dinner this year. Instead, I will cook and then drive the meal over to my annoying friends house.

@4meAndyou There are holiday dinners here and those places they have them are always packed and more people every year. At Thanksgiving they hold it in the old high school and had 1200 this year. I imagine they will have at least that many at the Christmas dinner too. These meals are not just offered to the homeless. It’s for people who may not have a lot of money for a meal or they are alone and don’t want to stay home all day by themselves. They also have people who will deliver the meals to their homes if they call and make arrangements and don’t want to get out for some reason (handicapped or don’t want to be exposed to germs in a crowd for example). They give away gifts to everyone at the Christmas dinner. So many volunteers involve in these dinners.
