Sooo. I've never cooked a Christmas dinner before but have cooked normal roasts.
In the past we have visited relatives which live an hour away for Christmas but this year I want to do Christmas in my own house and cook myself. Problem is I feel like we still need to visit the relatives in the morning.
I hear about people taking hours to prep/ cook for Christmas and so I'm not sure being out of the house for 4 hours on Christmas morning means I won't have time to cook myself.
Realistically if we leave the house at 9am and return at 1pm what time could I serve food at? Assuming all possible prep etc is done in advance.
Is it possible? Not visiting the relatives is not really an option as I don't know if my grandparents will be around for any more christmases but I really don't want to have to stay all day.
P.s the local pub is fully booked too as that could have been the easy answer
