In an ideal world I'd also have mash, yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and bread sauce on there but I find it too much of a faff so try to keep it simple but traditional.

Hello Red

Love, Nicky

Roast Turkey crown, stuffed with sage and onion and sausage meat.
Pigs in blankets
Roast potatoes and parsnips
Roast peppers, sweet potatoes and onions
Steamed broccoli, cauliflower, mange toutes,
Boiled sprouts and peas
Carrots, done with sugar and butter under a cartouche- not actually sure what you call that way of cooking.
Bread sauce and gravy.
Would do cranberry sauce but no one eats it!

Then for pud, Christmas Pud or Yule Log - usually eaten after the Queen’s Speech as we’re too full before it! I aim for lunch at 1pm, usually on the table for quarter past, no else allowed in the kitchen for the last 15 minutes.

I'm a non Christmassy person and last year had THE best Christmas ever because I had a delicious spaghetti bolognese using my favourite recipe. I know, I know - sacrilege on here but after years of battling PTSD for various reasons during Christmas time my counsellor suggested a me day and I bloody loved it! Favourite films and shows, favourite music, favourite meal, longest bath ever and no triggers. GLORIOUS it was!

Well done you for reclaiming Christmas! Spag bol is a fine choice: my friend has lasagne every year.

Lots of gravy

Then French apple tart and custard for pud, choc cheesecake as an alternative.

Then a well deserved nap 😴😂

Interesting to see how few people to do peas.

I'm anti-yorkshire with Christmas Dinner but my kids love them so this year might be a first.

Oh and sprouts for people that like them.
