When do you 'cut the cake'?

We do on Christmas Day. Which is silly because we are all SO FULL. Are we allowed to tuck in the week before? Christmas Eve inaugural cutting? What do you do?

Boxing Day tea-time normally. Too full of other things prior to that!

Never bother with Christmas cake, in the past I have thrown them out. We don't like it much. Would rather have a fresh cream chocolate Yule log.

Yule log for Boxing Day

We are having family round for lunch on the 22nd then going to a carol service, after the service they are coming back to our house for Christmas cake and coffee. My 10 year ok dd thinks its terrible that we are going to eat Christmas cake before Christmas but after having it hang around for so long on other years I'm hoping that as that's all I'm offering for tea it may all be gone by the new year.

Christmas is a season not just a day which is why I've been eating mince pies for weeks and have been known to start on the pudding in November

We normally cut into ours on Boxing Day as that is when we are at home to eat it. On Christmas Day we go to mums and will eat some of hers for an early evening snack before we come home. There is always room for more food on Christmas Day, I deliberately leave room for pudding/cake/chocolates when dishing up my vegetables at lunch time!

Usually sometime between Boxing Day and new year, I quite enjoy it after all the Xmas palaver! With a nice cuppa x

When I was a kid it used to be cut on Christmas eve and the first piece left for Santa. And then it was nibbled at over the next week until all gone.

Now we don't have Christmas cake as no-one in our house likes it.

Christmas Eve at ouyr house, because the whole family comes for a Christmas Eve dinner. Christmas Day teatime at my DM's house.

Christmas day because we always have a huge family get together (around 20 people). One year we actually had five cakes Confused though I'm still not sure why...

I make two, we've got a quarter of the first one left and the other is in tin foil uniced in the cupboard.

The first one was chopped into fingers and served with mulled wine and mince pies at our party on Sat and the remainder was taken into school the evening for the post concert buffet.

I'll ice number two next week and that will be eaten from Christmas day onwards.
