homemade sage and onion stuffing, likewise chestnut stuffing in turkey.
cocktail sausages with bacon.
homemade bread sauce

lots of gravy, both meat and veggie.
(have on veggie person, so will buy something from marks and sparks for him to have with the veg )
also have nut/egg allergic person so will give safe food for them)
red and white wine of some sort.
christmas pudding (and one small nut free one for nut allergic person.)

trifle , for those that hate the christmas pudding.
dessert wine.
