Last year on Christmas, I was not feeling well and was worried as every year I prepare all the sweets and food for my family members who visit us during Christmas but this time I was sad as I could not invite any guests due to my ill health and I did not want my daughter to cook the food as she had to take care of her kids as well. I had so many things that I planned for Christmas but all went in vain. However, my husband decided to not let our celebration be boring and hence he decided to take in charge of the cooking department. On hearing this from him, I burst out laughing and my daughter too said that it's better they order from the hotel as my husband did not know the A B and C of cooking. Once earlier he had prepared tea and he forgot to boil it and instead drank raw tea. We argued about this for a long time and then my husband decided to call his other three male friends and make the Christmas dinner. I couldn't refuse looking at his excitement and kept praying that everything goes well.
On 25th December, his friends came over at 3:00 p.m. to start the dinner preparations while the wives of his friends kept chatting with me in the hall. We kept wondering what would our husbands make for dinner and hence decided to order food if anything does not go well. My husband and his friends kept running in and out of the kitchen and we all kept laughing at what are they making. They did not even tell us the menu but we guessed it looking at the items they had ordered. They planned to make fried rice and butter chicken.
Three hours passed by and I and my one friend started peeping in the kitchen to see if all was well inside. My husband saw us and asked us to let them be and he sounded very excited. I kept thinking if everything would be fine and by the look of the kitchen, it was in a complete mess. I could smell some foul smell too. I looked at my friend and said that we would have to manage with the ordered food only.
It was 8:05 p.m. and my husband and his friends served us the starters that were fish fingers. My friend smelled the food to confirm if it wasn't burnt and her husband taunted her confirming that the dish was good. We ate it and it was indeed tasty. After 30 minutes they served us the main course, fried rice and butter chicken. We ate it and it was a bit salty. I did not complain but I was surprised to see that our husbands did manage to make a good dinner. I then entered the kitchen and noticed that it was really in a mess. My husband and his friends started cleaning it then and we all applauded them for their hard work.
It was an evening full of laughter and love and one of the best Christmas moments we spent together. It showed us that if our husbands are determined to do something for us, they complete it with determination.
