Over for another year, tell us the successful tips and did anything go wrong 
Jamie Oliver's way of carving the turkey was brilliant , but messing with the brussels was a waste of effort.
More of the traditional Paxo sage/onion went then the expensive stuff from M/S.
Waiting for the dishwasher, the rest of the 'mob' gone for a walk .
To you all , enjoy the rest of the day.

I learnt to let someone else do it! First year I haven't cooked or travelled miles away for Christmas dinner and it was marvellous
Great dinner made by MIL then we could walk home and have a snooze.
