Mom charges family for Christmas dinner and more: 'It's so expensive'
Fox News
A 35-year-old wife and mother of two said she's charging her family for Christmas dinner this year. An etiquette expert told Fox News Digital this "can easily come across as offensive."
She's charging them each just shy of $32 to cover the costs of breakfast, lunch and dinner during those days – Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing Day, the latter of which is celebrated in the United Kingdom. She feeds her mother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister, her sister's partner and her niece for the holidays. "It changes the dynamic of the celebration."
