Go round to their house and cook them dinner?
Yeah, good plan!!!!

I take it you don't know my parents so well.

Why on earth didn't I think of that?

A quick picture of Mr.& Mrs. Otis snr.

They will ONLY shop at King's in the market for their fruit (and there are 2 King's, they will only go to the 1). Nowhere else.

They always go to Asda every Tuesday and Thursday, come rain or shine, tornado or earthquake.

They will only go to the 3rd cashpoint in at Lloyds Bank, Broadgate and will not use any other machine at any bank in the entire country.

They always sit in the same seats at West Orchards food court.

My dad would never rent a dvd or video. Always used to say that he might be followed out the shop all the way home and then they would know he had a dvd player and come back and burgle him.

On bin day he won't leave the house until the bin collection has been made and he can put the bin back in its rightful place.

They also think one person runs the internet and his name is Mr. Internet and he is evil.

My dad is really hard of hearing. He will NOT have a hearing aid.

He has very poor eyesite. He will NOT have glasses.

He struggles to walk. He will NOT have a walking stick.

Creatures of habit, set in their ways, hate change.

Yeah, why don't I go round there and cook Christmas Dinner for them!! Brilliant! Genius!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!

Don't you think I considered that option, NW? ;o)

We go out because they can't cook so well anymore. Nothing major anyway.

If they would let us cook we would.

They can't be that much creatures of habit if they're open to a nice new place to go for Christmas Dinner...

A few years ago we came to the conclusion that were never buying turkey again as no one enjoys it so the last couple of years we've been having either the best pork or beef joint we can find. When the butcher delivered it last year we got talking about Xmas dinner and how Turkey ruins it at which point he said they have a full English breakfast every year because its everyone's favourite meal. They go to town on it especially with him being a butcher, it's the best full English you'll ever see he assures me. Anyway me and the wife got talking and decided he's got it absolutely right, if you can't have the things you like most at Xmas you're sort of defeating the point.

So were having Mexican this year. Merry Xmas.

(edit) or should that be Feliz Navidad?

Didn't I just list all the things they do that are unchanging?

They are happy going out to restaurants, though do take some convincing to go to some new places.

The fact is their home is their home. Their territory. For us to go in is to them to clearly state they are unable to do it themselves.

They cook everyday for themselves with no problems, but Christmas takes a lot more organisation and you are obviously also cooking for a lot more people.

They want to go out. It was their suggestion. They would be offended if I then said we will come round and cook you dinner.

They WANT to go out for Christmas. Their choice and they ARE very much creatures of habit. Incredibly so.

Cool. Turkey Bolognese for my family and a Sprout and Chestnut Pizza for me.
