Somewhere in the middle here we'll have chocolate cake or trifle and ice cream yum!

D - chicken, mash, roasties, carrots, peas, parsnips, stuffing, yorkies and of course pigs in blankets.

I love food threads ....

Brunch - everyone at ours and I'm making mini bagels with scrambled eggs and salmon, mini bacon rolls, selection of mini pastries with OJ and champagne

Late lunch - out at a local Italian for lunch (very untraditional! Not enough space at ours for a sit down meal for everyone)

Evening - back at ours again ... cheese, pates, bread, crackers etc and Guinness chocolate cake ... likely more wine and a couple of sloe gin fizz cocktails.

 

[MrsVenn]

Well.. if we're out of hopsital, this is the plan:

Brekkie - Bagels, salmon, philly and scrambled eggs. Pancakes for DD.

Lunch - Goose or beef, all the trimmings. Pud will be trifle, mince pies or gateau.

Dinner - Cheese, crackers, ham, pickled onions etc.

We're just doing a buffet for us to pick at throughout the day. We can never seem to eat a huge Christmas meal after eating all the chocolate in our stockings so it seems pointless!

 

[meldmac]

We just have whatever we feel like for breakfast mostly just chocolates from stocking

We don't eat Christmas dinner until later in the day around 4 or 5 at the in-laws. We have:

Lots of different chocolates to pick at
Turkey
Stuffing x 2
Potatoes
Carrots or some other veg
Caesar salad
Meatballs and gravy
Fresh buns

For desert it is usually different types of chocolate squares and other dainties and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Yumm!

 

[Tattoo]

Breakfast is bacon rolls.

Christmas dinner this year is turkey and gammon, with parsnips, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, sprouts, and I think we'll probably have peas. Plus plenty of gravy of course!
I'll have Christmas pudding afterwards. There'll also be fruit cake, stollen, mince pies, chocolates, and other lovely stuff.

Tea will be something picky, like party food, or maybe lunchtime leftovers with some oven chips or something.

 

[bubblychick]

Breakfast: tea (milk for DS) and toast
Brunch: Buck's Fizz and a snack
Dinner: soup starter, Turkey and gammon, veg, roasties, pigs in blankets, yorkies and stuffing and gravy
Pudding: cake
Supper: nibbles and leftovers

Our first Christmas at home so not sure how this will all pan out. OH does all the cooking and we're still waiting on confirmation from his brother as to whether he is coming.

Breakfast
Crumpets, muffins, scrabbled egg and salmon plus whatever dd wants

Lunch
Roast Turkey and Beef, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sweet and broccoli. Yorkshire puddings, stuffing and pigs in blankets. A cheesecake or ice cream for desert

Evening
Cold meats, antipasto, cheese and biscuits etc

Somewhere through the day we will probably eat chocolates. OH has some light beers and I have some champagne but am BF so will only have a small glass

Somewhere during all this we will need to find time to open all the presents, sort out DD2 who is only 3 months.

The weekend after we head to my parents when it really feels like Christmas ��
