Mom charging family $200 per person for Christmas dinner
A mother dubbed “Britain’s most hated woman” is back in the spotlight — this time for charging her family members to dine on her Christmas dinner.
Carla Bellucci said she’ll be charging her relatives nearly $200 per person for family Christmas dinner, believing that she should be compensated for the burden of preparing a meal for 15 people.
“It’s not cheap feeding people and it also takes a lot of time to put together a nice meal,” the 42-year-old told the Daily Mail.
And she won’t take any criticism, telling those that disagree: “Get stuffed, with all the trimmings!”
Belluci has an immediate family of six and is expecting nine additional relatives at her home Christmas Day, most of whom are expected to pay upfront at the door.
The $200 fee includes a complete dinner starring turkey and one glass of champagne. Any additional alcohol consumed will have to be BYOB, Belluci said.
She admitted that she’ll be pocketing at least some of the money from the holiday feast, saying, “Everything I do is for profit and my family understands that.”
But some relatives might be “disgusted” by the idea and not bother to show, Belluci said, but “if you want quality, you have to pay for it.”
A strict schedule will also be enforced, said Belluci: Doors will open at 2 p.m. and, after a game of charades, she intends to “kick them all out and send them home” at 10 p.m.
