Three years ago we decided to go out for Christmas buffet at a local resort and loved it. We’ve never gone back. Since then a group of friends and relatives go out somewhere every Christmas day. Yesterday we went out for Chinese food and it was delicious. It was exceptionally good and they didn’t have a buffet so we ordered just a shit ton of variety and they set up an extra table beside us and we created our own buffet. When we were done we got take out containers for everyone and divided up all the leftovers so now everyone has an extra meal at home today. Each year one person pays for everything. Next year is my turn so I’m already trying to decide what to do and were to go. No shopping for the food, spending hours and hours cooking it and hours cleaning it for 20 minutes of eating it. Going out means we actually spend more time just sitting and chatting before and after the meal. Best idea ever! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-you-make-christmas-dinner-or-go-out/977123)._
