Impressive but not too expensive Xmas dinner ideas?

I think your pulled pork sounds lovely. Throw a few chestnuts in the stuffing, maybe a bit of spiced red cabbage with some classic Christmas Crackers on the table you will all enjoy yourself.

Or as an alternative, at £12 for 4 it's not cheap but might hit your "special" remit, and be a bit closer to turkey than pork http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=266571209

Buy now and freeze till Christmas

We never have turkey at Christmas. Traditional in our families (mine and OH's) is steak pie. The glazed ham sounds lovely, though!

TBH, if someone else was cooking I'd appreciate pretty much anything.
