We always have nibbles whilst opening out presents at midday ish. These consist of homemade smoked salmon pate on little toasts, Delia's recipe palmiers, veggie crisps, stuffed olives, and salted cashews all washed down with hawthorn cocktails (homemade sloe vodka with cava). The main event is candlelit at about 5pm and is:-

Roast turkey crown covered in bacon
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing (cranberry & chesnut)
Roast potatoes & parsnips
Braised red cabbage (Delia)
Mashed carrot and swede
Sprouts
Bread sauce
Cranberry sauce
Gravy (Jamie's make ahead gravy)

Pudding
Christmas pudding with brandy butter
Sticky toffee pudding with cream

Cheese board
Cheddar, Brie, Stilton
Oatcakes, digestives & sesame seed biscuits
Crab apple jelly and green tomato chutney
Sloe vodka and/or port
Then a stagger to the sofa and something lovely to watch and snuggle up. Star

Our breakfast is always bacon rolls. Then we pick through the morning.

Christmas dinner (late lunch) this year is as follows:

turkey breast and gammon joint
roast potatoes
pigs in blankets
roast carrots
roast parsnips
peas
sprouts (NOT for me!)
Linda McCartney red onion sausages (instead of stuffing! They taste just like stuffing, but are free on Slimming World, and easier to cook as they just need to be stuck in the oven from frozen)
gravy

Don't do starters, but pudding will be Christmas pudding for me and DD1. DH can just pick at whatever he wants (there'll be cake, stollen, chocolate, etc). DD2 will only be seven months, so she'll just have some vegetables and probably a bit of turkey and/or sausage.
We'll drink prosecco.
