  • There is 10 of this year at my Grandfathers, so we are all doing seprate bits. Aunt is doing starters and 'extras' (stuffing and the like) Sister and Mum are doing the veg which will be cooked the night before and heated up on the day, they'll also do the meat and roasties on the day. I'm doing the christmas cake, fruit salad with boozy cream and also a chestnut and dark chocolate terrine for with the coffee later on. (We have our dinner mid afternoon) I'll also bring crackers and serviettes. So between us no one is left with it all to do and it spreads the cost as well as we are all a bit skint lol!
  • It's my husband and myself this year, we will cook a roast and enjoy christmas viewing, a wii game and walk off some calories hopefully.
  • 12 coming to ours again!!

    Hubby a chef so we have no excuse!! ;)
    A small Thank You can make a BIG difference ;)
  • Its going to be 6 of us for dinner, me and my husband and 2 girls, my mother in law, brother in law and sister in law and then for tea my brother in law will be going down to pick his son up from his previous relationship as he has him from tea onwards. We have been living away so now we are back near family again we have gone to town this year with food, presents and days out etc. Boxing day then we are out for a big massive gathering for dinner with my husbands friends and their wives. So then i can leave the washing up to someone else then lol

  • Nothing - no Christmas dinner for me! :(
    The first christmas OH and I have had to ourselves for many a moon, we are planning to spend the day naked (well we jokingly said we would) .No christmas dinner here, might even be bacon butties.

    Oh the bliss of not having to cook/entertain this year. wooop
    With love, POSR <3

    Cooking for others!
    I've put 'cooking for others', but it's only me, T'other half and DD, so no pressure for me :j

    There will be 8 (possibly more) for dinner this year and as always hubby will cook, although I am attempting the cookie christmas tree and making small gift boxes for the table
