Fourteen for Christmas

We are going to have a wonderful Christmas here at Casa d' FbL, more festive than the rather subdued events of recent years! There will be a large number of extended family and "adopted" family arriving for Christmas Dinner and presents. Fourteen people, to be exact (we thought we had twelve, and had the logistics of that figured out--maybe).

Granted, we now live in about 1500 square feet instead of 600, but...

Yes, we have simply the furniture that once fit in 600 square feet. No, the patio is not an option at 5 p.m. in December, even in SoCal.

Any logistical advice would be appreciated. Yes, that was an understatement.
