Nau.ch / Drone-Air-Media.ch – Do you charge 150 francs for a family meal? Rafaela and Sofia give their opinion on this matter in an interview with Nau.ch.
The basics in a nutshell
- A woman from Great Britain demands money for Christmas dinner.
- Benefit from family – how is this received? Nau.ch asked around.
- Everyone will dig into their wallets, but not too deep.
A British woman recently caused a stir with this statement. Carla Bellucci, 42, is planning to welcome her family to their home this Christmas. But they don’t do it for free. Your relatives will have to dig deep into their pockets for this.
“Feeding people is not cheap. “It also takes a lot of time to prepare a nice meal,” she justified herself to the Daily Mail. So she wants £150 (166 francs) from each guest. A glass of champagne is also included.
But asking his family to pay for Christmas dinner – will that be well received? Nau.ch asked around.
The Swiss will pay – but not that much
“I will go if I am invited,” says Rafaela. Although she thinks it’s okay to charge money for this, it’s not appropriate.
Passerby Sophia does not agree at all. She says: “I would never do that. If you invite someone, do it without asking them for money.”
But it also depends on the number of invited guests. If there are ten or more people, you may be able to order something. “But not with the family,” says Sophia indignantly.
However, you will not pay 150 francs. “Maybe 50 francs,” she laughs, “but there has to be something good.”
“We all have to work for our money.”
Lucien takes a more relaxed view on spending money. “You can do it,” he thinks. If there was a huge ‘cook-off’, he could imagine that people would say that everyone should participate.
He wouldn’t do it himself, but: “I think it’s okay too.”

He reasoned: “We all make our money. We all have to work for our money. “I think it’s right for everyone to participate,” says Lucian.
Of course, proportionality is also important. “You can’t calculate everything the same way.” Depending on the job and the person, the weighting should be different.
Opinion poll
Are you going to ask your family for money for Christmas dinner?
Yes, depending on the number of guests
No, definitely not.
In the case of the British woman, some family members are also upset about the huge amount eaten at Christmas dinner. Some people consider not going to the festival for this reason.
But Carla Bellucci herself remains steadfast and insists on money: “If you want quality, you have to pay for it.” Eating out at a restaurant is just as expensive, she says.
