Grandmother Charging Family For Xmas Dinner: a Cardiff, England grandmother is going viral because she charges her family for Christmas dinner. Caroline Duddridge insists on payments from all guests including her grandkids to offset expenses. Fees range from $6 to $18. Caroline starts buying holiday food in October to save money. She previously faced a revolt from family members over the charges. Caroline always defends her actions, saying charges are necessary to keep her festive finances in check. “I’ve been charging for Christmas since 2016. I don’t care if I’m called a money-grabbing granny who takes advantage of her family – people have said worse so it’s water off a duck’s back. I shouldn’t have to pay for presents, all the food, do the shopping, cooking, electricity and cleaning. Plus it costs to heat the house when they are there. I’m not being a scrooge. I am being sensible. My festive finances depend on it.”
