Definitely your call! If they are insistent, maybe suggest they have the seafood for dinner? THat is what we usually do - massive hot lunch and then a light seafood dinner.

Your house, your menu, your choice.
Having said that, MiL has said she'll bring the Christmas Pudding (I hate so wouldn't have made) and Uncle-iL has said he'll buy the turkey for me to cook. So much as I'm happy for the help, it does mean that I'm doing a turkey lunch with Christmas Pud to follow. Good thing I know the family well enough to know that anything else would have been a disaster!

I agree that it is mostly up to you but if they want to bring seafood then I wouldn't see the harm in it. If they expect you to pay for it though that is an entirely different matter!

I think if she wants to bring one platter, that is reasonable, but she should understand that its your turn to host xmas this year and you would like to do XYZ. Can you just tell her how excited you are to be able to plan it yourself?
