Sunday lunch the day before Christmas day?

[Allthegoodusernamesareused]

Are people really having a Sunday roast today? I'm working anyway so not cooking anything, but my SIL is grumbling on the family WhatsApp about having to do all the trimmings 2 days in a row!

We are having Spanakopita and salad for lunch and ready-meal Aubergine Parmaginana for dinner

We are having soup for lunch and a buffet (party food) tea today.

We will be having another gravy dinner on boxing day with the leftovers so it would start to get a bit boring if we had one today too.

No way, I’m doing roast Christmas Day and Boxing Day so definitely not today too

I am having a mini Christmas today with my edlest. So yeah, a mini roast for lunch.
Then pizza for dinner later with the little ones.

Xmas dinner for us tonight and curry tomorrow on the big day

Certainly not here. I’ll probably have cheese or an egg on toast.
However I will be doing a post-Christmas roast on around the 29th - a lovely joint of pork is waiting in the freezer.

No, we've got pizza and a selection of beige buffet stuff for this evening.

I've just made pizza dough! Movies and pizza later.
I cooked a ham joint last night so we will have sarnies pickles and crisps for lunch today.
We are going to the inlaws tomorrow for lunch and my mums on boxing day (all local)......Three roasts would be too much!!!!

I fancy toast every day.

We are making our own pizzas and having some buffet bits to snack on.

We're having The Poor Man's Meal.

It's essentially sausages and saute potatoes.

You can find the recipe on You Tube.

Nope. We normally have sausages and bacon in baguettes on Christmas Eve, but we swapped that to a couple of days ago for various reason, so we're having spag bol today.

I wonder if its a mis-com...is she doing all the trimming today for tomorrow?

We have a roast once or twice a month, but tend to stop in December, partly because we are often busy and partly to make xmas roast more special.
I definitely would not be cooking one today, even if I wasn't cooking tomorrow.

Last night was takeaway which is normal on a Saturday but definitely no room in fridge for stuff to cook.
Lunch has been left overs and freezer tapas
And then we go out xmas eve for a nice meal....but not a roast or anything similar.

KFC today

KFC for tea here, it's our Christmas eve tradition with my mum & her DP
No cooking today!

@greentreez23 jinx 😁

Indian takeaway here. We usually do a big afternoon tea spread with lots of homemade goodies on Christmas Eve, but we're all knackered and ds2 is at work anyway, so fuck it.

God no. We're going out to a noodle place after the panto.

She should say she is not doing it

Take away pizza for us later but we did have roast beef and all the trimmings yesterday at In-laws (and they'll be doing a full on roast tomorrow)

We always have homemade lasagne, garlic bread, chips and salad on Christmas Eve...I enjoy this so much more than Christmas Dinner!

No, but absolute hats off to the boss ladies who are!

I was so tempted to do that but I hadn't planned it so I'd have had to go into a supermarket- on Christmas Eve 😱. So no.

Instead, we're having a big stir fry.

I deliberately don't do anything special leading up to Christmas Day so that it's more of a feast and a treat

Exactly!

Seriously? Do people really do this?!
