Woman hosting Christmas dinner threatens to cancel if guests don't bring their own food

A woman who agreed to host Christmas dinner on the condition that each guest bring a dish of food to the festive meal has threatened to cancel after being let down by her guests. Christmas 'is a big affair' in her rather large family and they will usually have more than 30 people sitting down to dinner together, according to this fed-up hostess,

She went on to explain that, in her culture, celebrations begin on Christmas Eve with 'a huge dinner' traditionally made up of 12 different dishes. She asked that everyone bring a dish from the list, with the understanding that they'd share out the cost and any leftovers, the Mirror reports.

Taking to Reddit, the exasperated woman explained that she had planned everything out well in advance, even handing out the list to family members back in August. But, unfortunately, things haven't exactly gone to plan.
