Fairly low effort this year as it's just the two of us and DH and I are sharing the cooking tasks. We've gone for an evening dinner for a change as my family always insist on a midday one when I am cooking for them all. Just doing roast and mashed potatoes, sprouts and bread sauce to go with the bird. I've got a ready-made pouch of gravy for a change.

I made Christmas dinner for me and DD and we both agreed it was absolutely disgusting. Worst roast I have ever made! Luckily we are stocked up on chocolate. All that money, effort preparing, serving, then washing up. May as well have just had a pizza!

Only took about an hour. Was delish! Worth it (only cooking for two, thank god!)

I cooked from 10 until we ate at 2. I loved it ( always do) my favourite dinner of the year, definitely worth it, everything cooked just how I like it - perfection.

The point is to enjoy yourself. Down tools and ask for help?

YABU for still doing it now. I started prepping at 10am and we were eating at 2pm.

It is a faff but worth it. Is anyone helping you?
