Cook everything in advance.
Pre-cook things the way restaurants do, so everything is three quarters cooked and frozen so you only need to get it out and blast in a microwave.

:eek::eek::eek::eek: be gone with your suggestion :rotfl::rotfl: I'm not cooking.

(I hope you realise my response is said in jest)

Tempted to say 'give me a thousand pounds and I will look after you for three days' I'm not a bad cook and have a nice Christmas tree. I will even let you pick what to watch on TV or play charades with you for a grand.

Impose on your children if you have any. That's what I'm doing anyway!

My children are 21 and 14, both still living at home.

One of the Shearings breaks prob aren't a bad price of one of the local coach companies.

Pay them to cook

Or just book Christmas dinner at a local decent hotel cab it there and back if you need a tipple with lunch

I have friends who never have Christmas dinner but order good quality Indian or Chinese instead

The idea of Christmas in a hotel has never appealed as I wouldn't want to share my Christmas with strangers .

Really enjoy the Shearings mid-week [4 night] Bay Inclusive breaks. Excellent vfm.:)

Xmas starts next weekend in our house.
Our son works in Saudi Arabia [Riyadh], and it's his turn to work over Xmas/New Year.
So we'll be treating him like royalty for 3 weeks in November.
Tree goes up next Thursday, and will stay there 'til Twelfth Night.
