So for reasons that aren't worth going into in any great detail I've realised that I'm going to have to concede Christmas Day to my ILs for the foreseeable future
But I love Christmas, or at least I did until the ILs sucked the joy out of it, and I'm thinking that I could have a special Christmas celebration, maybe on Christmas Eve, at our house and just for our little family. I'd like to at least keep some of our special traditions going and have something to look forward to to keep me sane in the days to follow
Does anyone else do this, or similar?
I'm thinking of having a nice roast not turkey , setting a poncetastic Christmas table, having choc biscuit pudding and a snowy pavlova for dessert, or maybe a gingerbread house. I don't want to just have Christmas dinner a day early though it's tempting to upstage the main event but I want to create a special tradition not a petty battle so I might leave off on the crackers.
Would love any ideas for making meal, which is basically an ordinary roast dinner, into something special and worthy of the season.
