The Skinny
If you wake up in a cold sweat one morning, realizing that you've promised to feed the whole brood on Dec. 25, take a deep breath. Take another. Now pick up the phone and get on the reservations list for the Christmas dinner at South Park Suites Hotel.

The menu and prices won't be set until early- to mid-December, but it's never too early to start preparing. Making the reservations is easy--the real challenge is convincing your mother-in-law that you're not shirking your duty by foisting the cooking off onto someone else.
