Roast chicken instead of turkey?

Forgive me people for sounding like a complete moron but please bear with me as I don't eat meat so don't know the answer! I am cooking Christmas dinner for three adults (so not me) and was wondering if I got a chicken (or a couple of chickens) rather than a turkey would people be disappointed with chicken? Does it taste much less Christmassy than turkey?

My family likes to eat leftovers for a few days after Christmas, would there be leftover meat from chicken?

Chickens are so much cheaper than turkey but I dont want people to feel short changed.

Thanks all!

We never have Turkey for Christmas dinner, only DD and me here, and neither of us like it, so I buy chicken breasts, as I can't deal with bones, legs and carcasses.

We have it with roast tatties, veg, gravy and skirlie,

Once or twice we've had roast beef, but that's a bit too expensive.
