What time did you have Christmas dinner?

[ccx1]

Mine will be ready at 5pm, I'm starving!

What time do you usually have yours?

1.15... then had a lovely nap

12.30! If we don't eat at lunchtime, kids will be full with chocolate...

Aimed for 2.30. Got 3.30. Cooking a Christmas dinner with one oven and 2 rings is a fucking nightmare.

We are currently having a short break before we can face pudding.

DH is cooking ours, usually 5ish.

We had ours at 2. All the prep was done yesterday so it was just a case of putting the stuff in at the right times.
The leftovers are in the fridge, I’ve stripped the turkey and the dishes are done.
I’m now enjoying a virtuous Mimosa and making serious inroads into the Quality Street.

2pm

Kitchen is now clean and tidy. Left over veg and mash mixed ready for bubble and squeak tomorrow, Turkey remains in the fridge.

Tins of sweets on the coffee table and my feet up watching Say yes to the dress Atlanta

2 - was delicious and we were starving 🤪

We aimed for 1pm and ate at 1.30pm

Starters at 1pm...I just do canapes/nibbles.
We sat down at 14.45 for the main event.

1.30 on the dot. I was rather pleased with myself as I'd aimed for around 1.30 ish and for once it was all ready.

Around 6pm. We had a big cooked breakfast and then opened up nibbles etc about an hour ago.

Starter at 2, main at 245 after a bit of a break... We will tackle puddings in an hour or so.

3.45 ish we don't do starters. I'd rather just eat more of the main thing!

We had ours at about 1.30pm.

We had ours at 2pm. It was pretty easy to stay on time. I out the beef joint in the slow cooker overnight and prepped all the veg at 6am when the kids woke me up.

Not ready yet. 6pm?

We had ours at 3, normally it's 4-5 bit we have guests coming this eve so we ate earlier.

We had ours at 4. Now watching The Snail and the Whale with DD before dessert!

We’ll be having it at 5.30, am at the in-laws. Mum and dad aim for 2.30 but usually wind up serving up at 4 as they faff and get stuck into the booze they have a hostess trolley so timings are always a little bit ‘subject to change’ 😂

Will have it around 7pm.

Had mine about 2pm

1pm.

DS2 had a slice of toast about 45 minutes before it was served, though. The cooking smells got the better of him and he couldn't wait any longer!

About 2p.m. We'd finished by 3 and we're still full! Everything is clean, tidy and put away; it's almost like Christmas dinner never happened!

1.40 this year according to photo time stamp. Will be making tea in an hour or so!

OH is just starting the prep now. I'm hoping we can be finished by the time Call the Midwife comes on telly.
