1. Bag up all the wrapping paper and put it outside!
2. Delegate pot washing!
3. Slice off the remaining meat and either freeze or refridgerate for tomorrow!
4. Save remaining cooked veg for stew! It can be frozen if you don't want to eat it in the next few days.. or sling it in the crock pot with the carcass for stock!
5. A quick S&S over the kitchen should see it looking fabulous again If you leave it by New year it will be a tip!!
6. Wipe the table/table cloth
7. Put the best crockery/glasses away
8. Quick wipe over the hob should see it sparkling again
9. Don't forget to feed the pets!.. Mine had a bag of turkey giblets they helped themselves to!
