You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not so everyone has their own

family traditions when it comes to the holidays, but here is one grandma who's taking it next

level. She's going extreme. So this grandma charges her children and her grandkids for Christmas

dinner. It's a tradition that's evolved over the years from a tip jar now just to a flat fee.

She says that this spreads the cost evenly to everyone at the table. And she charges adults

$18 for per meal, the 12 year olds and the nine grandchildren have to pony up six bucks each

and she's got a couple young toddler grandchildren and they're charged $3 each. And she said she's

a dish, your green bean casserole is an equivalent to the wine that you're drinking. So she makes it

even for everybody. So I can see her point, but I think that might say more about how she raised her

family. If they're not willing to kick in without her saying there's a fee attached to it, you know

what? Trust your kids and say, listen, I need you to help out and instead of bringing just the green
