Christmas eve is pretty normal - I usually cook one of our favourites. Last year was butcher's sausages, veg and mash with homemade onion gravy - yum!

Christmas day

Breakfast is fairly normal - Christmas tree crumpets, weetabix for DS, DH might have porridge. I just have crumpets as not a cereal eater.

Family come around 2pm then a have smoked salmon blinis plus other smoked salmon canapes.

Then a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.

Boxing day is usually leftovers so that we can relax after hosting.

Christmas Eve: is a takeaway

Christmas Day, breakfast is usually bacon sandwiches.
Lunch will be roast beef with all the trimmings around 1pm and cheesecake or ice cream for pudding.
Evening is normally picky bits and probably a cheese board.

Boxing Day: breakfast will probably be a full English around 10:30-11am because we are off to my aunts for the afternoon and she will do a buffet for about 4pm.

Christmas Eve will be a Chinese takeaway, Christmas Day we’ll have bacon sandwiches whilst opening presents (just me and 12yo ds), then all the family are here for lunch/dinner at about 2pm, when I’m cooking turkey, gammon and lamb with all the trimmings. I’ll get cheese, biscuits techie anyone still hungry later in the evening.

Boxing Day, I’m on my own as ds goes to his dads, so I’ll eat mince pies, leftovers and drink wine whilst watching crap Christmas tv Grin

DH's mother was German so Christmas Eve is very important for him. So we'll have champagne and canapes around the tree at 6ish followed by fish - probably a poached salmon and a light pudding - might do Green & Blacks vanilla ice cream with hot cranberry and orange compote. Mince pie/stollen and ginger wine when we get back from midnight mass.

Christmas morning breakfast is just toast (but the DC get nutella as a treat). At lunchtime we have champagne with nibbles and there is a pot of homemade soup for people to help themselves to as and when. Christmas dinner at 4ish after the Queen's Speech - I'll probably get a stuffed turkey breast as it can just sit at the bottom of the oven wrapped in foil without drying out, plus roasties, yorkshires, roasted root veg , red cabbage and I'll stir-fry shredded brussels with bacon. I have a baked date and sultana pudding that is lighter than traditional pud and serve that with brandy butter and custard.

On boxing day I make a soup with various left over veg etc and we have that with crusty bread and fruit for lunch. In the evening we have family visitors so we have a big high tea with cold salmon, turkey and a cooked bacon joint plus salad and Christmas cake, stollen and SIL's homemade German cinnamon star biscuits (yum...)

Lots of cocktail sausage rolls & vol-au-vents.

Christmas Eve - maybe an indian.

Christmas day - bacon sandwiches for breakfast then when I get to my mum's, a cooked ham on the table with bread & pickles then full Christmas dinner. Lots of chocs off the tree and nibbles.

Boxing day - depends if we stay over or go home on Christmas day.
