Rosie’s tale of a vegetarian Christmas gone awry had all the trimmings of a holiday movie, but with a real-life twist. The drama unfolded as the in-laws’ expectations clashed with Rosie’s meat-free menu, leading to a feast that was anything but silent night. The tension reached its peak when the family patriarch longed for his ham, and the matriarch lamented the hosting choice. Yet, in a surprising turn, apologies were made, and peace talks are now on the table. As they say, the proof is in the pudding—or in this case, the plant-based roast. It seems that Rosie’s holiday story might just have a happy ending after all. ️
