The holidays have a way of sneaking up on us, don’t they? One minute you’re planning to keep things simple this year, and the next you’re elbow-deep in cookie dough while juggling a half-written grocery list, a toddler meltdown, and an oven timer beeping in the distance.
Christmas dinner is a special kind of chaos — wonderful, messy, and full of memories waiting to happen. But if your guest list includes everyone from a teething baby to a picky preschooler and a carb-loving grandparent, the menu can feel like a juggling act.
Here’s how to make your Christmas meal work for everyone, without losing your sanity (or burning the roast).
