Dear Abby the holidays Are Here which poses a big problem. What do you do when very close relatives invite youth a meal at their Home and your husband refuses to go Here is the reason my sister and brother in Law let their dog eat off the same plates that the guests have been served on. The dog licks the plate clean they Don t see anything wrong with this but it just turns my stomach and my husband refuses to eat an other meal at their Home what can i do we can t have the Holiday meals army House All the time. We left town for thanksgiving but we have to be Here for Christmas. I have even taken paper plates to use at their House when we Are invited for birthday parties but you can t t use paper plates for Christmas . Holiday who says you can t use paper plates for Christmas dinners shop around.
