What food do you serve on Christmas day ?

After getting up with the larks (and the kids!) I have toast & coffee. Kids have cereal as usual . Then Christmas dinner about 12:30 of boiled & roast potatoes, stuffing, turkey, sprouts, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, yorkshires & pigs in blankets. Then homemade rice pudding as I'm the only one who will eat Christmas pud, so I don't bother. Then nibble on cheese, nuts, chocolate & nicknacks after I've been for a few miles walk (preferably on my own!).

Evening is a concoction of cheese, salad, rolls, ham/turkey, sausages etc.

chilli with remaining nachos stuff [guac, salsa, sour cream etc] for tea about 6ish

We usually have a roast dinner so we like to make life easy on Christmad day.

Fresh orange juice, croissants, bacon and pancakes with lots of coffee for brunch. (The kids will have cereal when they first get up!)

Head to parents for 3ish, open more presents with all the family whilst eating nibbles. This year we are having beef wellington!! with all the trimmings. Lemon tart and a meringue dessert. Everyone will bring a course with my parents supplying the meat and the alcohol!

In the evening leftovers, chocolate and very likely cheese if anyone can be bothered.

Games by the open fire with mulled wine.

I blooming love Christmas.

So excited for xmas this year, mind you not even started on the presents but i've made a list and thats the main thing!!
Me & my long term partner just moved in together this year so think we will have my parents, his parents and brother aswell as us so thats 7!

Thinking bacon butties & mugs of tea in the morning, then we will go and visits OH's DD, head back home and await both families arriving. Not sure when we will eat, maybe about 3/4ish? I doubt we would eat much after the main meal which I think this year is going to consist off.

Soup - Veg Broth

Turkey & beef
Sausages in bacon
Roasties
carrots
yorkies.

no doubt plenty of alcohol. Can't wait to make my house all festive.

Where do you's buy your food? I have noticed M & S do an xmas ordering service. Might use that for the meat then just buy veggies as normal.

Excited!!!

Breakfast: is usually eggs or bacon barms and a selection box!
Lunch: about 3ish is choice of 2 meats, usually beef and turkey crown, roast potatoes in goose fat (mmmm) veg, yorkshire puds, sausage in bacon, gravy. Dessert: Baileys cheesecake or mince pies.
Evening: Cheese, red onion chutney, crackers, cold meats, pasta salad, kettle crisps, more chocolate washed down with wine, beer or Baileys, the new Biscotti flavour is to die for.
Boxing Day: Buffet!
My friends have decided not to do Christmas dinner on a Christmas day anymore and instead have it on a Boxing Day. They said its a lot less stresssful so they have buffet on the 25th!

We always have the usual Turkey and trimmings and my DH does a lovely gammon with Jack Daniels glaze Yummmmm. but this year we have decided to do things really different with an Indian Banquet delivered DH had this years ago before we met and said it was fab and only the plates and cutlery to wash up, but still have the usual bubbly and desserts.:xmassmile:xmassmile:xmassmile
