We had lobster tails for lunch, but were disappointing. Rather stick to prawns and scallops. We had a lovely roast pork for dinner.

This year it is simple -- ham and roast beef sandwiches. Peasant salad, green bean casserole, hash brown casserole and of course desserts.

I have a cold and a hot plan depending upon the weather. Prawns and crays in the freezer as well as the stuffed turkey breast. If we need the turkey he will be part of a baked dinner along with Yorkshire pudding that one of my daughters-in-law loves, cranberry sauce and gravy. We'll finish with Pav, mince pies, Christmas cake or pudding with either cream or custard if it's a cold day. When I look at the sheer amount of food we have for only one or 2 days it makes me feel as though we are gluttons and it should be spread throughout the year.

Nothing special! I am now on my own, partner died 25 years ago, family all live on the other side or the world and No a 1000 times No, I am not lonely. We talk, we Write - Yes, we actually still Write letters, send cards etc., we read and either post a book or exchange Author's name, book title and publisher details. I don't have time to be lonely and as a confirmed Atheist I don't celebrate this mythical event!

Prawn entrees, Ham,Chicken,Roast Pork Gravy, roast potatoes,pumpkin,sweet potato, carrots,onions, cauliflower & broccoli, either beans or peas. Dessert not decided yet. Something simple as my mob are usually too full after the first two courses as they usually have a hot breakfast of eggs & bacon.. So most probably dessert will be added to a simple evening meal.

Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year. Our Christmas is about people and Arrives in Summer, So nothing cooked or BBQ'd on the day. We get together everyone bring their favourite food, Lobster, prawns, oysters, real chicken, coleslaw, salads, Paper plates, cups, cutlery, NO cooking or washing dishes. Just focus on reason for the day off and spend with family and friends.

Ham, turkey and maybe some prawns. Potato, bean, green salad. Usually I make a Ice cream Xmas cake well before the end of the year but will most likely have plain old ice cream ....... with homemade Limoncello! Merry Xmas to all the wonderful folk out there; be kind to each other and above all, if driving anywhere; please stay safe! (Have a drink (or ten) on me) ..........

A very merry Christmas to all of you and I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you do :-) We don’t have any family, it’s just my boys and I. We usually go to friends houses but this year I’m hosting at mine. We will have Turkey, ham & Chicken. New potatoes with butter and Brussel sprouts. Homemade Potato salad, rice salad and broccoli beetroot feta salad. For pudding Pav, fruit & ice cream and mince pies…oh shit I forgot the Traditional Christmas pudding lol Off to the shop then haha I didn’t bother with a sherry trifle either… There’s crisps, nuts and nibbles too and a selection of cheeses & crackers… And everyone can just help themselves when it’s all on the table ;-) I’m really looking forward too itEdited 22-Dec-21 15:30pm

Oh I am so over food already and Christmas isn't even here but soon it will be. I am certainly over the Aldi ads `you can't overcook Christmas' problem is we do while others go without. We have seen the others so for us it is a very small roast beef with roasted veggies and it's so hot what were we thinking! Thank Goodness for the air con which we will use.

  We had a BBQ at Mum and Dad's recently and it wasn't too bad although Mum had been rather sick and at 84 it knocked her about some. Storm coming now so that will cool us down for a bit. I find any thing over 35 unbearable and the air con comes on. Our hottest ever day was some thing like 48. Would have been a few years back now.

Doing a Christmas Eve luncheon in a park. Will be eating the usual, turkey and ham and salads. I am pretty excited though as it will be the first time in years that we have all been together for any reason. I do like a bit of turkey though and a bit of Christmas pud. I think if I leave the pudding container in the hot summer sun it should warm it up enough and serving with brandy custard. Someone here mentioned rum custard. That sounds pretty darn good to me but have never heard rum and custard associated before. I might give that a go with the left overs on Christmas Day. Wishing everyone the very best for this festive season.
