Sprouts with bacon and pine nuts
Bread sauce

Roast potatoes (some goosefat has appeared in the kitchen)
Carrots
Peas
Gravy
Not sure for pudding, we do have Christmas pud but the kids don't like it. Might have to knock up a jam and sponge thing as well to have with cream or custard. But it will be early evening before we get to this stage.
Cold meat and crackers and pickle for supper
