Christmas eve. What do you eat?

[wtbmummy]

Normally on Christmas eve we have chinese takeaway as I spend the next two days in the kitchen preparing christmas dinner and boxing day buffet. So I basically refuse to cook

This year is a bit different for us as its just the three of us and dh is on call over christmas.
So I was considering doing the buffet on Christmas eve and then having the buffet xmas eve and then boxing day.

What do other people do food wise?

I have been trying to convince ds to agree to a Chinese take away for about 4 years. He finally caved this year and said he will try it. We usualy have party foods. Mini pizzas, chicken skewers, etc but I hate cooking Xmas eve. We usualy have a realy busy day where I'm on my feet all day, I don't want to cook even if it's sticking stuff in the oven. Always paper plates though. Always.

Chinese takeaway here too. We order it from the restaurant in town, it's absolutely lovely, we only ever have that one on special occasions so really looking forward to it.

Normally we have close family over so I do a lil posh buffet and mulled cider for everyone.
This year though we're hosting Christmas Day so I just refuse to do both We'll probably get a takeaway.

We are having salmon en croutes with vegetables as late lunch/early dinner and then a little buffet in the evening.

I do like the idea of mulled cider!

We don't do anything in particular every year. Some years we've done Chinese, other's I've made something simple or just junk food. Probably just sandwiches this year I'm thinking and then off to the church, after services we'll have coffee and all kinds cookies there before heading home.
