What are you having to eat on Christmas Eve?

[dirtyprettything]

I’ll have 5 on Xmas eve and 12 Xmas day so I don’t want to go overboard on Xmas eve. We are going to a carol service and I was thinking a chilli or bolognese once we get back. Would you be happy with that or is it not special enough?

I'm working a 13 hour shift. Probably some chilli I have in the freezer. Gin and wine as soon as I get home!

Soup, cheese, crackers, grapes and nuts. And something alcoholic.

Slow cooker tomato soup for lunch and then lasagne, garlic bread and salad for dinner followed by M&S trifle :)

Gammon egg and chips so we have leftover ham for Christmas sandwiches. I have never cooked gammon before though so not quite sure to do with it

Chinese and champagne, as tradition dictates!

Left over turkey and ham. We're doing Christmas on Saturday with family and going away on Boxing day. It's going to be very strange!

We've ordered a shellfish platter, which we'll enjoy with salad, fresh baked bread and a bottle of champagne. X

Have no idea, was going to do a picky tea but my sister and BIL are going to my mum's on Saturday so we now going there for a buffet tea. And I don't fancy a picky tea two days in a row.

I may do chicken Parmesan and pasta, but no sure I fancy a big heavy tea the day before christmas.

Some sort of takeaway or picky tea. Anything that's easy with minimal dishes.

Buffet of picky stuff. Nothing fancy. Sausage rolls, party food etc. I can’t be doing with proper cooking.

Me & DH will probably start on the cheese and wine after the DCs are in bed, too!

Salmon fillets here. Normal meal.

Sausages on sticks, cheese and pineapple on sticks, pasties, pizza, trifle and cake. It's my DP's birthday and it's really for our niece's benefit

Sausage and mash. Always a winner and doesn't require much brain power from me!

Lasagne, salad and garlic bread here too!

DDs and I are going to DMum's after the Christingle service in the morning and she's doing shepherds pie & veg apparently. Yum. If I'm at home with DH, we either get a chippy tea or have cheese & crackers type things.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese for breakfast

Picky tea of antipasti type things and some pizza for the kids

Wahhhh so many 'picky teas'......

Olives, feta, cured meats, fancy potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, dips, garlic prawns...smoked salmon... and bubbly!

All whilst present wrapping with kids in bed!

doing slow cooked ham and rolls to be filled with the ham.

We're having ham, two will have sweet potato fries & salad, two will have cauliflower cheese and another macaroni cheese.
All easy enough and I'm not leaving the house on Sunday so all good.

(We normally do Chinese takeaway but fancied a change!)

I'm going to make Jamie Oliver's trout pate with Yorkshire puds and we'll prob have a bottle of prosecco. I was going to do it for a starter on Christmas day but i think it would be a bit much.

We're going to Pizza Express

I’m cooking a ham which we will then graze on with the other leftovers between Christmas and New Year.

Gammon and proper home-fried chips.
