Best Christmas food?

[Fluffycloudland77]

I just want to bung it all in the oven & get sloshed on cava & chambord.

Right, I'm looking at organic farms who deliver.

You can order peacocks too. Dh has vetoed that idea

Peacock? Where!?? I'm buying one and i will post you the pic on xmas day!

I've done various bits from M+S in the past, though havn't used them for a couple of years as they insist on doing my stuffed duck with cherries.

Anyway...if you do a collect time quite late the queues are much better.

I'd empty the freezer and buy all the pre prepared stuff now.

Book a tesco slot for 5th November and keep amending the delivery date until you get to 23rd /24th Dec. Plonk 12 bottles of cava in your trolley and check out today - you can keep adding stuff in as and when you think about it.

Butchers for your meat - M & S was chaotic last year and I have vowed never to do it again (or send DH to collect it)

Start your Christmas Goodies stash now for your non perishables.

Christmas Eve remove dinner from freezer. Open cava.
Christmas Day put dinner in oven. Open more cava. The benefit is that most pre-prepared stuff is in oven ready trays...no washing up!!

I make a roast dinner every sunday so Christmas dinner is nothing. Just add a cracker on the table. Piece of cake.
