Christmas Eve Dinner

Just wondered what everyone does for dinner on Christmas Eve. I always struggle with this. We have Roast Turkey and all the trimming, Roast Beef on Boxing Day. We also have a gammon joint which is mostly used as cold cuts. I always feel like I should do something Christmas Eve too. Ideas anyone?

  • Something very easy lol Although my ex grandmother in law was Austrian and she made a huge deal of Christmas Eve and the meal was always three courses with the main course as fish x
  • We always have pizza and watch a film!

    I'm going to make a buffet so we can sit and pick at it all night while we watch some Christmas TV :)

    (chicken goujons, duck spring rolls, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, pizza, hot and spicy chicken strips, garlic bread, chicken satay skewers, profiteroles, crisps etc....YUM!)

    Probably chinese take away, , as will be in the kitchen most of the morning on xmas day. usually on xmas eve prepare stuffing, pigs in blankets and trifle, so don't want to have a meal to think about as well!!
  • We go to see a Pantomime then go out for dinner, it means ds is out of the house and not getting too hyper, then we go home open our xmas pj's and watch a chritmas dvd, so looking forward to it :)
